“Therapy with Alisha has been one of the most meaningful, rewarding, and enriching experiences of my life. I am enormously grateful - really, every single day - for our relationship and to have a therapist who not only supports me, but roots for me, invests in me, and believes in me. Above all, therapy with Alisha is fun! It is my favorite hour of each week, and I genuinely get excited about the work we do together and the process of seeing myself evolve and grow.”

“Alisha was the first person who I truly opened up to. I had never been to therapy before and it's a little uncomfortable and unnerving going into a room with a complete stranger who you only spoke on the phone with once prior to meeting in person. But with that being said, from my first session to now, I've always felt like I was talking to a friend. I was immediately comfortable with her. She allowed me to share however I wanted and was always kind and caring in her approach. Alisha is a sounding board when I need her to be, a coach when I need her to be, and someone I consider a lifelong mentor.”

“It would probably take me 30 minutes to fully explain the changes I’ve seen in myself since I started therapy with Alisha, but I'll give it a shot in a couple of sentences. The biggest change is that I'm no longer afraid to feel things. I used to avoid negative feelings because I wanted to life in a safe and happy space. I've learned that avoiding feelings on one end of the spectrum actually prevents me from fully experiencing the super happy feelings. In other words I've just been living a more muted, numb experience. Being able to process the hard emotions actually allows me to fully experience and appreciate the good feelings in life, which has resulted in a richer life experience.”

“As a lesbian interracial couple, it's not always easy to find educated compassionate care. We've seen Alisha off and on since January 2019 and are so grateful to have had her in our corner while we navigated big life changes.”

“Alisha has helped me fundamentally change my relationship to myself. With her guidance and support, I’ve learned to quiet my tendency for relentless self-criticism and treat myself more compassionately. I’ve worked on overcoming my crippling self-doubt and built my capacity to trust and listen to myself. I’ve gained the skills to manage periods of overwhelming depression and anxiety and be with myself in challenging moments. It is not hyperbole to say that each of these shifts has been life-changing for me, and they would not have happened without Alisha helping and empowering me along the way.”
