Getting to know Alisha Gordon

Hi there, I'm Alisha! Hi! My name is Alisha Gordon and I am a licensed clinical social worker. My approach I strongly believe that everyone has the right to have a place where they feel safe, unjudged, and themselves, and can trust the person they are sharing their heaviest and most personal issues with, and if that is anywhere, it should be in the therapy space. While I am trained in multiple therapeutic modalities, my approach to therapy is all about the individual. I tailor treatment to each individual, pulling from all the modalities as needed to make sure I am using what works best for each person and playing to their strengths to help them heal and cope with all aspects of life in a healthier way. My focus I typically work with young adults and adults, though I have experience with all ages, from 4-96. My specialties are trauma and anxiety, though I also work with various other diagnoses. I also take a hybrid approach between medical and holistic methods as I believe both have their place. My communication style My first objective is to make you feel as comfortable as possible. It is incredibly difficult to be open and talk about your deepest and darkest and so I like to create a very accepting and laid-back environment. As we get into it, I use a mix of empathy and compassion while also being straightforward and direct when thoughts and beliefs need to be challenged. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been fascinated by the human brain and the why behind why we do what we do. In college I took an abnormal psychology class and loved it. When that same professor described the differences between the helping professions, social work made the most sense to me and that is the path I chose. One of the things that attracted me the most about it was how big of an umbrella an LCSW covered and knew that if I got bored or burnt out in any one given area I could have a change and it would feel like a whole new career and I have done that.
