Getting to know Alisha Washington

Hi there, I'm Alisha! My name is Alisha Washington, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno. My approach to therapy is meeting my clients wherever they are on their journey and helping them achieve the treatment goals we work together to establish. I view the therapeutic process as a partnership that requires communication and commitment from both myself and my clients. My approach I strive to take a strengths-based, client-centered approach to providing therapy. I believe there is something intrinsic that drives and motivates us all. Identifying and maximizing our strengths and abilities can help develop our path to healing. My focus I have experience working with a very diverse client population, ranging in age from 5 to 90. I have worked with clients from varying cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, each with unique identifying characteristics and experiences. I openly welcome all. My communication style I strive to create a very open and safe environment where my clients feel comfortable sharing and expressing themselves. I believe my clients find me comforting and supportive. However, as a guide in the therapeutic process, I can be direct and serve as an accountability partner as well. My journey to mental healthcare I have always desired to help others. Earlier in my career, I channeled this passion through several social justice initiatives, community engagement, and policy advocacy. Over time, I realized that while the big changes I was working toward were important, I felt drawn to more direct work. My passion to help became more focused and specific, which led me to become a therapist. My goals for you I encourage my clients to be self-aware and explore what aspects of their lives or thought processes they would like to change, stretch, or address. Through this process, we work collaboratively to identify individualized goals.
