About Me

Alissa is a co-owner of a private practice in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, PA. She has 19+ years of experience in the mental health field, working with people of all ages, and their families, couples, and individuals of many backgrounds on their growth and change. She works virtually with people struggling with PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, anger management, self-improvement, co-parenting after separation/divorce, working through major life stressors, and building self-esteem by helping them find a new path. To support her virtual work, she is a Certified Telemental Health Provider (CTMH).

Additionally, she has worked in direct care and managed a mental health program for individuals with severe mental health needs.
Since Alissa is a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP) and has a minor in Biology, she often integrates alternative practices that highlight how the body’s systems work together. She does this through the incorporation of EMDR therapy, mindfulness, movement, somatic work, and nutrition. In alignment with her overall approach to health and healing, she is also trained in Reiki (Level III).

Alissa has facilitated many trainings with community mental health agencies and has also co-led a Trauma Informed Yoga Workshop with a local Yoga Studio. As a dedicated, Certified EMDR therapist, Alissa is determined to support clients in their healing journeys through reprocessing and reframing their trauma, helping them release limiting beliefs that have kept them from fully embracing their authentic selves, and by understanding how utilizing the whole self can lead to lasting change.
