“Alyssa is truly amazing at what she does. She listens and she has great feedback. When it comes to talking and processing my trauma, she approaches it in a way to challenge myself but the work she is doing with me is so profound. She gives me encouragement and lots of support. I am truly grateful to be working with her.”

Getting to know Alyssa Heskin
Hi there! I’m Alyssa (she/her), and I specialize in working with people of all ages who've experienced trauma or have struggled with mental illness. Having been in therapy since childhood, I understand how tough it can be to open up to a stranger. My approach to therapy is laid-back, aiming to create an inviting space filled with warmth, comfort, and and a sense of good familiarity.
I take a psychodynamic, strengths-focused approach when working with clients as I believe we can't better ourselves in the present without revisiting what's impacted our development up to this point. I'm here for clients ready to explore their past to shape a brighter future, particularly those healing from trauma or mental health struggles.
My approach is rooted in patience, warmth, and humor, balancing the tough moments with some light-heartedness.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
