Her approach to therapy is humanistic through a person-centered lens, providing a supportive environment comprised of acceptance and appropriate humor. Alyssa believes that you are the expert on you. She utilizes an integrative approach that includes a balance of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat symptoms affecting daily functioning and Psychodynamic Therapy, which explores the origin of a problem if so desired.
