Getting to know Alyssa Werner
I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and adolescents. My approach is warm, collaborative, and experiential. I work especially well with clients who are curious about themselves, open to looking beneath the surface, and willing to actively engage in the therapy process.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, stuck in patterns they don’t understand, or unsure of who they are beneath their roles and expectations. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, neurodivergence, or a major life transition. You may also simply sense that something needs to change and want support understanding what is getting in the way.
My work is informed by somatic therapy, Gestalt, mindfulness, parts work, and trauma-informed care. I believe therapy can be a place not only to understand yourself, but to experience yourself differently.
I see you as the expert on your own experience. My role is to offer clinical guidance while creating a space grounded in safety, honesty, curiosity, and genuine connection. If you’re ready to be an active participant in your growth, I would be honored to work alongside you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is experiential, which means that we don’t only talk about what happened or analyze your experiences—we also pay attention to what is happening right now.
In our sessions, we may slow down and notice what you’re feeling, thinking, sensing in your body, or experiencing in the relationship between us. This present-moment awareness can help us recognize patterns that may be difficult to understand through conversation alone.
Depending on what feels useful, I might invite you to notice a physical sensation, stay with an emotion as it arises, explore different parts of yourself, use imagery, or become curious about a familiar relational pattern as it happens in the room. These experiences can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and create opportunities to practice new ways of responding.
I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative. I encourage clients to bring curiosity and a willingness to participate in the process. Sometimes meaningful work involves gently moving toward experiences that feel uncomfortable rather than immediately moving away from them.
We will always work at a pace that feels supportive and appropriate for you. My goal is to create enough safety for honest exploration while helping you build greater self-awareness, emotional flexibility, resilience, and self-trust.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first sessions are an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’re experiencing, what you would like support with, and the patterns or circumstances that may be contributing to your current challenges. We’ll also begin identifying what you hope will be different through therapy.
As we continue, sessions are generally conversational while also incorporating experiential and present-moment work. We may talk about something that happened during your week and then slow down to notice what comes up as you describe it.
Depending on your needs, we may explore relationship patterns, emotional responses, past experiences, beliefs about yourself, or different “parts” of yourself that may have competing needs. We might also use grounding, mindfulness, body awareness, imagery, or other experiential practices.
I don’t believe every session needs to follow the same structure. Some days may involve more conversation and reflection, while other days may involve slowing down and working more directly with an emotion or experience. I’ll collaborate with you throughout the process and adjust our work based on what feels most helpful.
My goal is not simply to help you understand your patterns intellectually, but to help you experience new ways of relating to yourself and others. Over time, we’ll work toward greater awareness, emotional regulation, self-trust, resilience, and the ability to respond to life with more choice and flexibility.
