More about Mallyssa Nissen, MA

Mallyssa Nissen, MA, LADC, provides compassionate and evidence-based mental health and addiction treatment to individuals throughout Minnesota. She offers individual therapy, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), group therapy, and case management to help clients navigate life’s challenges. Mallyssa specializes in treating substance use disorders, anxiety, and trauma, working closely with individuals to develop personalized strategies for healing and growth. Her therapeutic approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to foster resilience and emotional well-being. Mallyssa is particularly passionate about supporting individuals dealing with alcohol and drug use issues, PTSD/trauma, and anxiety. She understands the complexities of addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions, providing a nonjudgmental space where clients can address their struggles and build a foundation for long-term recovery. Through a combination of evidence-based interventions and compassionate care, she helps clients regain control of their lives, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthy coping skills. Beyond addiction and trauma recovery, Mallyssa also works with individuals experiencing later-life transitions, midlife changes, and chronic pain management. She recognizes that major life shifts can bring emotional distress and uncertainty, and she is dedicated to helping clients navigate these transitions with confidence and support. Her experience working with diverse populations—including individuals with autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities, and head injuries—allows her to provide specialized care tailored to each client’s unique needs. Outside of her work at LifeStance Health, Mallyssa enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She and her fiancé recently purchased a home and have been enjoying the renovation process. In her free time, she loves gardening, baking, reading, creating art, and traveling. She also has a husky and spends much of her time outdoors, going on walks and visiting the dog park.
