I am so glad I chose better help. They could not have matched me with a better therapist than Alyssa! She is amazing in so many ways and understands me like no one else. She responda quickly, sends worksheets, and recommends classes and stuff. She is top tier! I've been telling everyone about better help!

Hello!
Discovering Yourself: A Journey of Growth and Healing
Navigating the complexities of life can be challenging, but with the right guidance and support, you can embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and personal growth. As a licensed counselor with six years of hands-on experience, I specialize in helping individuals understand themselves on deeper levels through psychoeducation, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).
The Intersection of Understanding and Healing
Through psychoeducation, I aim to empower my clients by providing insightful knowledge about their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Understanding the mechanisms of our mind allows us to identify patterns that may be holding us back from living fulfilling lives. Our sessions will unravel the intricacies of mental health, equipping you with the tools to take charge of your emotional well-being.
Empowering Your Inner Journey with EMDR and DBT
As someone trained in EMDR—a powerful therapeutic technique designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories—I’ll guide you through your experiences, fostering a path to healing that promotes resilience and self-acceptance. This method is particularly effective in addressing trauma, helping you process past experiences in a way that diminishes their negative impact on your present.
In addition to EMDR, my certification in DBT allows me to teach you skills essential for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. This relational approach nurtures healthy coping mechanisms while cultivating profound self-acceptance—an essential component in promoting personal growth.
Building a Stronger, Authentic You
Understanding yourself is akin to planting seeds in the garden of your mind. Each new insight allows for personal growth and self-improvement to flourish. Through our collaborative exploration, you'll unveil new perspectives about yourself and your capabilities, paving the way for achieving both emotional and psychological well-being.
In the coming weeks and months, you’ll experience a journey that not only embraces your past but also helps create a brighter future—an opportunity to grow into the individual you aspire to be. Through the blend of psychoeducation and evidence-based practices like EMDR and DBT, we’ll work together to break free from self-limiting beliefs, celebrate your strengths, and foster a holistic view of your potential.
Start Your Transformative Path
Life’s path is not just about survival—we are meant to thrive. Together, let’s embark on this empowering adventure of understanding and learning, one step at a time. You deserve to blossom into your best self and navigate life with unwavering confidence and zest. Your journey toward enduring change and fulfillment starts today!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
