Alyssa Coan

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

I focus on helping people who are experiencing anxiety or depression. I love watching people I work with feel like they have control over their lives again. I believe that the body and brain hold onto experiences after certain events and might get hung up or even stuck.

My goals for you

Clients I usually work with have anxiety and often some sort of trauma in their past. This comes across in our behaviors and decisions we make every day. My clients' goals are often to have a more positive outlook, better communication, and improve overall well-being.

Our first session

In your first session, we explore your goals and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We then do some education on the mind-body connection and understanding our emotions. Then we use various modalities like CBT, mindfulness, IFS, and DBT techniques to meet you where you are at.
