Alyssa Van Lopik
Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience providing therapy services. I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings including: inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, partial and intensive outpatient care, and managing a private practice in the Austin community. I work with clients affected by depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma and relationship challenges. Originally from Chicago, I moved to Austin, TX during the summer of 2017 to continue my work in therapy. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and my Masters degree in Social Work at Loyola University Chicago. My approach to therapy is client centered: clients are the experts on their lives and determine the direction and depth of therapy. Through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I support clients through developing skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation with the goal of moving clients towards a life involving the capacity for experiencing joy and freedom. I am trained in EMDR and use this approach to support clients through their healing with traumatic experiences. Outside of my work as a therapist, I practice yoga as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT). I also enjoy reading, cooking, spending time with my family, and traveling to new places.

Karen Possessky
I am licensed in Texas with 29 years of professional social work experience. I help clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, parenting, trauma and abuse, workplace issues, and more. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am very client-centered and outgoing. It takes immense courage when taking the first step to heal and discuss blocks that interfere with life fulfillment. I am here to support you and guide you towards your self-determined goal. Niche populations include: healthcare workers, first responders, lawyers, other counselors, military, parents, caregivers, men, and postpartum women. I am warm, enthusiastic, caring and friendly. I have a great sense of humor. I love working with people. I am also a huge animal lover. Every once in a while, my dog Golden Wizard May offer a supportive bark; my hope is that you do not have to hear him cite a neighborhood violation (his arch nemesis is the department of sanitation). My greatest interest is learning about you and helping you with whatever you want to achieve.

Throughout my experiences in supporting clients and their families through difficult life events has helped me understand the importance of starting where the client is and being sensitive to each individual in their own process of learning how to cope.
