Alysse Bendel

Hi, I’m Alysse. I’ve been practicing social work for 13 years helping folks through life transitions, coping with anxiety and depression, meeting their potential while navigating neurodiversity and adhd, and also managing day to day stress and burnout. I have experience working with Veterans, folks with complex trauma and those navigating the foster care system both with parents and children. I am LGTBQ+ affirming and willing to dive into issues related to discrimination and racism. As a parent and women who is living through postpartum, I hope to bring my lived experience to offer a warm and compassionate therapeutic alliance rooted in validation and support.

Therapy is your time. If we need to sit in a heavy feeling, spend our hour working on a task that you feel you’ve been dreading, unpack an experience to identify an unhealthy behavior pattern or focus on a structured program to set goals and achieve them, we will! Therapy may look different week to week but based on your current needs we will adapt and shift so you walk away feeling validated and supported.

In our first session I hope we get to know each other a little better. I want to learn about your why and what life looks like for you. My goal is to establish your goals for therapy and for you to feel confident in moving forward.
