“Alyssa is incredibly intuitive, astutely aware and one of the most compassionate professionals/persons I've worked with/met.
Every session, I felt heard, safe and guided towards my own path to forgiveness and self-love.
I've entrusted my well-being with many therapists before Alyssa, she is hands down one of the best I've had.
It's a wild ride into oneself...no need to do it alone.
Thank you for your guidance, Alyssa.
See you when I'm back in California!”

Getting to know Alyssa Werner
I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and adolescents. My style is warm, collaborative, and experiential. I especially enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves, interested in understanding what lies beneath the surface, and open to being actively involved in their own growth.
People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, caught in familiar patterns, or uncertain about who they are outside of the roles and expectations they carry. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, or navigating neurodivergence or a significant life transition. Or perhaps you can’t quite put your finger on what feels wrong, but know you want something to shift and are ready to explore what might be holding you back.
My work draws from somatic therapy, Gestalt, mindfulness, parts work, and trauma-informed care. I believe therapy offers an opportunity to do more than make sense of your experiences; it can help you discover new ways of relating to yourself and the world around you.
I see you as the expert on your own life and experience. My role is to bring clinical perspective and support while cultivating a space where you can feel safe, seen, and genuinely understood. Together, we can approach your experiences with honesty, curiosity, and compassion. If you're interested in getting to know yourself more deeply and actively participating in that process, I would be honored to work with you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach to therapy is experiential. This means that while we certainly talk about your experiences and explore your history, we also make room to notice what is happening in the present moment.
During our sessions, we might slow down and pay attention to your emotions, thoughts, physical sensations, or what is unfolding in the relationship between us. Bringing awareness to these experiences can reveal patterns and underlying dynamics that aren't always easy to access through talking or thinking alone.
Depending on what feels relevant, I may invite you to tune into a sensation in your body, spend time with an emotion, explore different parts of yourself, work with imagery, or notice a familiar relational pattern as it emerges in our conversation. These practices can open up new perspectives, deepen your self-understanding, and create space to experiment with different ways of responding.
I view therapy as a collaborative process, and I encourage clients to bring curiosity and a willingness to engage. Growth sometimes means turning toward feelings or experiences we might instinctively avoid, allowing ourselves to get curious about them rather than immediately trying to change or move past them.
Throughout our work, we will honor your pace and what feels manageable. My intention is to create a supportive environment where you can explore honestly, while gradually developing greater self-awareness, emotional flexibility, resilience, and trust in yourself.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our initial sessions are a chance to get to know each other and begin exploring what has brought you to therapy. We'll talk about what's been happening in your life, what feels challenging, and what you would like to be different. We'll also begin looking at the patterns, experiences, and circumstances that may be shaping what you're currently going through.
As our work develops, sessions typically involve a combination of conversation, reflection, and experiential exploration. We might begin by talking about something that happened during your week, then pause to notice what you're feeling or experiencing as you share it.
Depending on what you need, we may explore relationship dynamics, emotional responses, past experiences, beliefs about yourself, or different parts of you that may have conflicting feelings or needs. We might also incorporate grounding, mindfulness, body awareness, imagery, or other experiential exercises.
I don't believe therapy should be a one-size-fits-all process, and not every session will look the same. Some days may call for conversation and reflection; other days, it may be more helpful to slow down, connect with your body, or spend time with an emotion or experience. I'll check in with you along the way and adapt our work based on what feels meaningful and useful.
Ultimately, my hope is that therapy becomes more than an opportunity to understand your patterns intellectually. I want to help you develop new ways of experiencing yourself, relating to others, and moving through life. Over time, we'll work toward greater awareness, emotional regulation, self-trust, resilience, and the freedom to respond to life's challenges with more flexibility and choice.
