Alyssa Smith, MA, LPC

I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a unique space for emotional understanding to flourish. In the presence of a non-judgmental and empathically attuned person, individuals can feel safe enough to explore and process their most complex experiences and painful emotions, fostering the hope that these feelings will become more manageable and integrated over time.

In my practice, I draw on psychodynamic, existential, feminist, and queer perspectives, always considering the existential vulnerabilities and systemic issues that impact us all. With compassion, I encourage clients to reflect on their roles in perpetuating unhelpful patterns and to envision new ways of relating and existing in the world.

My clinical experience and training primarily focus on helping individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, complex trauma, and relationship distress. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds and proudly identify as an LGBTQIA-affirming therapist.

Rates
I offer individual sessions to adults. My standard rate is $120 per 50-minute session, and I offer a sliding scale upon request. I take Blue Cross Blue Shield and HealthChoice insurances.
