Therapists in Stanislaus County, CA

I have been licensed for 40 years and have a wide range of experience working in a number of Mental Health and Psychotherapy settings.

As a clinician starting out during a pandemic, Alyssa was offered the opportunity to work in treatment centers serving as a clinician to individuals in a time of crisis. She has seen, firsthand, how bad it can get. Alyssa hopes to work with people who don’t want it to get “that bad.” She would love to work and support individuals with more preventative measures and education to warning signs, coping skills, and psychoeducation to help individuals understand their diagnoses. People struggle every day, but that does not mean we have to let those struggle dictate the way we experience life.
