Alyssia Hurt, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alyssia!

I support clients with building skills to better manage stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, navigating life changes, and increasing motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

My focus

I am eager to work with clients of varying backgrounds seeking support with navigating management of stress and anxiety, mood disorders, coping with addiction, adjustment to life changes, along with improving motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

My approach

I believe you are the expert of your experience and possess the strength to overcome any challenges you bring to therapy. The modalities I commonly use are CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, Supportive, Crisis Intervention, Problem Solving, and Strength-Based approaches.

My communication style

It is important to me that I access and utilize a variety of communication techniques to help patients overcome varying emotional and psychological distress. Some key skills utilized in sessions are empathy through active listening and reflection, along with nonverbal communication through eye contact and gestures.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was motivated to become a therapist from my desire to be of service to others and help people make meaningful changes in their lives to support them in overcoming hardships and achieving growth in their personal lives.

My goals for you

When setting goals with clients, I typically take a collaborative approach, with an emphasis on developing SMART goals that adhere to clients' needs and desired outcomes of treatment.

Our first session

During your first session, expect time for rapport building and a thorough initial assessment with questions exploring your background and desired goals of therapy to support developing a treatment plan that meets your needs and desired outcomes of treatment.
