Hello!
My name’s Alyssa, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor. First and foremost, I want to congratulate you for taking the first steps to make positive changes toward healing and growth. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and I am here to support and empower you in that journey. I have worked in various settings which include hospital settings, correctional system, military system, and community-based agency. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
I have great passion for meeting people where they are and assisting them through the recovery journey. It is important to me to provide safe space for clients to process and work through their challenges. I believe in collaborative therapy where the therapist and client work together with respect, honesty, and empathy. My theoretical orientation in counseling is CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and my goal is to assist clients to discover their strengths and live their best life. I look forward to working with you. :)

03 · What happens next
Alyssa practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Alyssa's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Alyssa at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Alyssa is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Alyssa.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Alyssa actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Alyssa's - Alyssa has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
05 · Practical details
06 · Provenance
Alyssa's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Alyssa. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
