Alyssa is always professional and kind. She does an incredible job with helping me reframe my thoughts and help me see another perspective. I have grown to be comfortable sharing thoughts and perspectives that I hadn’t expected to share.

Listens to all of my concerns for the week and provides valuable tools to carry over to manage stress and anxiety. Provides a safe space to talk about my thoughts and fears. After each session I feel lighter and ready for the rest of the week.

Alyssa understood the type of person I was right away and provided me with thought exercises that helped me come to my own conclusions. I like structured approaches and she really provided the framework for me to work through a specific issue. I find her easy to talk to and I’m glad she’s willing to do video chats because I really like to see the person I’m talking to and I could tell she was legitimately always listening.
