Alanna Everhart

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master’s degree in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego. Since graduating in 2021, I have worked with adolescents, adults, and couples in community mental health and outpatient settings.

I became a therapist because I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I’m passionate about helping others better understand themselves, work through challenges, and become the best versions of themselves. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and create a life that feels fulfilling and authentic to them.

I have experience supporting clients navigating depression, anxiety, mood and personality disorders, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and general life stress. I believe therapy should be a space where clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard.

My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from modalities including CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR. I work alongside clients to better understand patterns, build coping skills, improve relationships, and create meaningful change aligned with their goals and values.

I help clients reach their treatment goals by creating a supportive, collaborative, and emotionally safe environment where they feel comfortable being open and vulnerable. Through an empathetic yet direct approach, I guide clients in gaining insight into the patterns, behaviors, and relationship dynamics that may be contributing to emotional distress or keeping them feeling stuck.

Together, we identify their needs, strengthen communication and coping skills, and develop practical strategies to navigate challenges more effectively. I encourage clients to move at a pace that feels comfortable for them while also supporting growth, self-awareness, and meaningful change. My goal is to help clients feel more empowered, connected, and confident in creating healthier relationships and improving their overall emotional well-being.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, and complete the intake. It gives you the space to ask questions and determine whether we feel like a good fit to begin working together on your therapeutic journey. My goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel comfortable, heard, and understood from the very beginning.
