Alyssa Davis, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alyssa!

I'm a mom, yoga enthusiast, and therapist who brings my whole self to our work together. I incorporate these aspects of myself so we can have a real therapeutic relationship, rather than me being some person on the other side of a screen. I help people navigate trauma, anxiety, and depression with warmth and authenticity.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. I'm here for anyone seeking to understand their past, take accountability for the present, and create the future they desire.

My approach

I combine creativity with your strengths to make the often tough experience of change more manageable. Using EMDR and DBT, I help you process past experiences and build skills for the present. My goal is to enhance the therapeutic experience and meet you where you are.

My communication style

I provide a safe and validating environment where you can explore openly. You can expect warmth, authenticity, and collaboration as we work together. I'll support you in finding yourself and creating the life you want to live.

My journey to mental healthcare

My life was nowhere near sunshine and rainbows growing up, and I always wanted someone to help guide me through the speed bumps. I slowly found my way to becoming a therapist and it's my absolute passion. Supporting clients in finding themselves never gets old for me.

My goals for you

I like to set what I call a Mount Everest goal so I can understand what you want your life to be like and what you want to accomplish in therapy. We'll then set smaller base camp goals to get you to the tippy top, one step at a time.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll spend time getting to know you and learn what you want to gain from therapy. We'll collaborate on setting long-term goals. Think of it as going on a journey: first you decide where to go, then you gather the supplies, and then you set off.
