Alyssa Berger

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and relationship conflicts. I help my clients identify troubling thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns with the goal of shifting to healthier and more adaptive perspective and decision making. I work with an eclectic, integrative approach and base my practice techniques on the unique needs of the individual, as psychotherapy is not based upon a "one size fits all" approach. I pay close attention to the relationships within a client's life, and incorporate techniques from both cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy. I provide tools on how to effectively alter maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, while also taking into consideration the individual's history and past experiences.

I treat people suffering from personal or professional anxiety, negative self-beliefs, and those unable to communicate or set boundaries with others. I also connect with individuals trying to heal from trauma and young adults navigating the twists and turns life throws their way. High-achievers, people-pleasers, and life-transitioners often find their way into my practice.

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in working with survivors of trauma, violence, and childhood abuse and neglect, with a particular commitment to serving people of color and queer and gender non-conforming people. With a background in dance and movement therapy, I use an eclectic approach, combining "talk therapy" with somatic therapy for individuals still looking to find the words or to reclaim control of their bodies and lives. I am an interactive, non-judgmental, down-to-earth, and empathic therapist who believes that your experiences, however painful or chaotic, are worthy of being paid attention to. I can assist you in finding expression and healing and reclaiming your true self and life.

Hayley Goodrich

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

It's normal to have ups and downs in life, but when dissatisfaction with where you're at becomes chronic, that's a sign that something needs attention. Change is possible as we come to know ourselves more deeply and as we broaden our capacity to weather the vicissitudes of life. Wherever you are in your own process, I would be honored to join you in the challenging but deeply rewarding work of developing that inner knowing. Reach out for an initial consultation to see if we're a fit.
