I'm Alisha!
I have received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Baypath University and currently have my LMHC and LPC license in MA and CT.
I have worked in community mental health for the past three years with teens and adults, providing counseling services utilizing evidenced based approaches including, CBT, SFBT, and person-centered therapeutic approaches. I am currently pursuing EMDR certification.
I draw from evidence-based modalities including CBT, person-centered, and will be adding EMDR once I am fully certified. Together we will explore how past experiences, current stressors, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors may be impacting your well-being. My goal is to help you develop insight, strengthen coping skills, process difficult experiences, and build resilience.
During our first session together, my primary goal is to get to know you and understand what brings you to therapy. We will discuss your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and what you hope to achieve through the therapeutic process. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and determine whether I am a good fit for your needs.
I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, so I strive to crate a welcoming, supportive, and judgement-free environment where you can feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. Together we will begin identifying goals for treatment and developing a plan that feels meaningful and achievable. You do not need to have everything figured out before our first session together. Just come as you are!
