Getting to know Alisha Risner
Do you struggle with controlling your emotional regulation? Within Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I will give you skills that you can use to learn to manage your emotions. You will learn how to better control the emotional swings that cause you discomfort and sometimes interfere with meaningful relationships. Intimate relationships are difficult to manage and while you can't change other people, you can change yourself. Understanding your approach and changing it will help you stop the destructive "behavior" that you've been performing, and you'll be surprised to find that your environment and your partner have changed as well, but only after you've changed the same patterns of behavior.
Forgiveness, gratitude and self-acceptance support a healthy mental life. So do more effective anger management, strategic problem solving, anxiety-reduction, and lifting of depression. Physical activity, healthy diet, good, sound sleep, and a healthy support system of friends and family produce a lifestyle that will enable you to live your best life to the fullest. I will help you get there (but only on video).
I obtained a MSW from Andrews University and have been licensed as a Clinical Social Worker since 2023. For 2 years I worked in Community Mental Health, then I had a private practice specializing in trauma, depression, anxiety addictions, family/parenting issues, difficulty managing emotions/stress. I have worked in the mental health field since 2013.
My therapeutic philosophy is that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and have the right to self- determination. Humans want to feel SAFE, connected, and effective. These require Awareness, Authenticity, and Acceptance, Not there yet? I can help.
