Hi, I'm Alisa! 

As a therapist specializing in working with children and adolescents, I am dedicated to supporting young people through some of life’s most challenging experiences. With a focus on helping clients navigate grief, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and trauma, I provide a compassionate and safe environment where they feel comfortable expressing themselves while exploring their emotions with curiosity and understanding.

Over the past three years, I enjoyed teaching therapeutic groups and providing individual therapy to youth at the Boys and Girls Clubs. Bringing therapeutic resources directly to children and teens in the community allowed me to support young people in building resilience, developing healthy coping strategies, understanding their mental health, and to gain confidence in managing their emotions and challenges.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to the developmental needs of children and teens using methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Play Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
