Getting to know Alissa Burnham

Hi, I'm Alissa! My name is Alissa Burnham, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health therapist. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, East Bay. I work with individuals across the lifespan, focusing on perinatal clients and young adults ages 18 to 25. A blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, coupled with an anti-oppression framework, supports clients in finding clarity, building on existing inner resources, and increasing well-being with self and others. My approach My therapeutic approach varies depending on each client’s needs and goals. I find a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness helpful in locating core issues, strengthening inner resources, and identifying a path forward. My anti-oppression lens and intersectional framework support understanding and examining thoughts, feelings, responses, and beliefs. My focus I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative space for clients seeking support through pregnancy, birth concerns, parenting, relationship struggles, and postpartum depression or anxiety. I bring over 12 years of experience working with young adults ages 18 to 25, offering a safe space to support relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. My communication style My communication style is warm, personable, and open. My goal is for each client to feel comfortable and safe to talk about anything—especially parts of themselves or events they may never have shared before. Flexibility is important to me in each session, as different needs or issues may arise. My journey to mental healthcare I’ve always found groundedness in being there for people through difficult times. People seem to feel they can open up to me, and I deeply value their trust. I’ve had an innate curiosity about why we are the way we are—being a therapist allows me to be truly present for others and to remain curious.
