Getting to know Dr. Alisa Woods

I would be happy to offer my support and guidance to you through distance counseling, whether that be over the phone, video conferencing, or text messaging. I understand that life can be challenging and stressful at times, and I am here to help you navigate through any difficulties you may be experiencing, including stress, depression, anxiety, and confusion. Together, we will uncover your strengths and develop effective strategies to address your unique challenges. I hold a PhD in Psychobiology, Neurobiology, and Behavior from the University of California, Irvine, as well as a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Massachusetts, which inform my compassionate and evidence-based approach to care.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I welcome clients of all races, religions, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, body type, and socioeconomic status. If you hold prejudicial views towards certain groups of people, I am happy to work with you to change those views and help you understand and respect everyone. I am here to support you in a non-judgmental and empathetic way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is one of compassion and understanding. I use a combination of solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, and neurobiological techniques to help you achieve your goals. I have a lot of experience working with people who have anxiety and trauma, but I am happy to work with anyone, regardless of their background or specific issues.
