she was amazing! we built a great rapport in which she softly, but firmly, called me out on my shit. She also knew different ways of getting the same information to me, (direct call outs, various scenarios, etc.) that really helped solidify the message

Alyssa is the best - she is kind, patient, excellent in her profession, and genuinely has changed my life. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her and build a great relationship and foundation of trust (which is hard for me).

My time with Alyssa was great and I really gained a lot from our sessions. She made me feel comfortable, was thoughtful and pushed me to open up in ways that were really effective. I always felt like she cared about our conversations and never felt judged.

I am just taking a break until January because I need to do repairs on my house. Alyssa is amazing at what she does. I will be honest with you, though: i personally find feedback surveys about practitioners to be highly problematic. I think it has the potential to promote fear, anxiety, and doubt in the practitioner. Constructive feedback is always necessary, but I wouldn't rely on most patients to be able to offer constructive feedback about a therapist, particularly when A LOT of people go into therapy with their own fear, stigma and issues and may project that onto the therapist. I am hoping that for most feedback you receive about your therapists, that you realize it is a reflection of a fault within your company and training practices-- not the therapists. Also, the way this feedback form is laid out really does put the onus of performance on the therapist-- and it should probably be more geared toward the practice as a whole.

I have seen quite a few therapists over the years and Alyssa has been the best. You can tell she truly cares and is passionate about what she does. She really helped me work through one of the worse times in my life by listening intently, helping me connect the dots, and giving me the tools I needed. I felt safe and heard. Her insights were spot-on and she really made me pause and think in a new way which is something my previous therapists were not really able to do.
