She helps professionals and new parents learn how to cope with anxious and angry feelings so they can live a life that feels meaningful to them. She received her Master’s degree in Social Work from Widener University and has advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She incorporates ACT, CBT, and mindfulness in her work with clients. Working with Alisa is interactive. She isn’t the type of therapist who just sits, and listens, and nods. She offers supportive, insightful feedback and walks clients through different exercises to help them develop increased self-awareness and learn strategies and coping skills to help them achieve their goals.

Message to clients

You have been struggling for some time now. Life feels challenging and not in the good way. Maybe you constantly worry, finding it hard to turn your thoughts off and fall asleep. Maybe adjusting to parenthood or another baby has been difficult due to lack of sleep, not feeling like yourself, or parenthood not being what you thought it would be. Or maybe you find yourself lashing out at your loved ones, putting your relationships at risk. If you can relate to any of the above, I can help. I offer individualized treatment to help you live a life that feels meaningful to you, even if you are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms. We start by talking about what is getting in the way of living the life you want. We then utilize tools and techniques that help you create distance from difficult thoughts and feelings so that you can live life according to your values. You’ll get to know yourself better, helping you to communicate your wants and needs better. You’ll learn how to manage stress better so that you can relax, sleep well, and enjoy your free time.
