​

Alyssa is a Masters Level Mental Health Counselor Intern currently in her last semester of her Masters in Counseling program at Nova Southeastern University. She obtained a Bachelors degree in Psychology from University of South Florida with a Minor in Criminology. She is a member of the Psi Chi Honor Society. Alyssa is described by others as kind and welcoming! She is passionate about providing her clients with genuine support, encouragement, and empowerment while on their path to healing.

 

Alyssa enjoys working with children, parents, and individuals who have experienced anxiety, various traumas, and/or ongoing stress. Her personal experience with overcoming trauma and raising a son with ADHD motivates her desire to assist those experiencing similar situations. She is aware of the many unique challenges that neurodivergent children and adults face and likes to use creative exercises to teach them coping skills. Additionally, she has a deep understanding of the difficulties behind parenting and offers parents tools to help ease feelings of guilt and overwhelm. 

 

Alyssa also has experience with counseling domestic violence survivors, and those battling anxiety, addiction, depression, and chronic stress. She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, and Feminist Therapy.

 

Alyssa often takes a psychoeducational approach which helps to provide clients with information and skills necessary to understand and take care of their mental health, learn healthier ways to manage stress, and help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and harmful beliefs. For families, it is her ultimate goal to help parents and children manage behavioral issues and/or other mental health concerns in order to create a more cohesive family unit, including healthier communication between children and parents and comfort for all within the home.  

Alyssa looks forward to meeting you and offering you (and/or your child/family) a safe space to share your worries, challenges, mistakes, goals, strengths, weaknesses, joys, and success…without judgment!
