Alyssa Glorioso, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alyssa!

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist that enjoys helping my clients grow into an authentic and empowered version of themselves! I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, attachment issues, depression, relationship issues, and self- esteem.

My focus

I have a particular passion for working with clients who struggle with emotion regulation and anxiety, and setting boundaries in relationships. We will collaborate on your plan for treatment with realistic and achievable goals.

My approach

My approach to therapy is human-first, and I believe that a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing. I am eclectic but will typically use a blend of psychodynamic, attachment, and cognitive behavioral therapy depending on my client's unique needs.

My communication style

A non-judgmental environment with open communication is important to me. I will often use humor and am expressive in session, as I don't believe therapy always has to be heavy. I will gently challenge you when needed, once we have a trusting therapeutic relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to being a therapist due to witnessing how crucial mental health support can be to changing someone's life. This was further reinforced during my time working at a trauma center, where I was able to witness immense healing. I am honored to create space for change, growth, and resilience with those I work with.

My goals for you

I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship and will check in on goals every three months to reflect on progress and update your treatment plan. In our time together, you will gain new insights and learn coping skills to create change.

Our first session

I see the first session as a chance to get a holistic view of you and your story. We will complete the intake, in which I will gather information needed to learn about how to best approach your treatment. Starting therapy can create a mix of emotions, so we will ease into the first session, getting to know one another.
