Alyssa McCarley

I’ve been working in mental health since 2020 prior to and during COVID. I have had experience working as a first responder prior to transitioning to the mental health field.
I have experience working with individuals with IDD and co-occurring mental health diagnoses, individuals who have experienced trauma, as well as individuals in recovery from addiction. I have experience working with individuals who are on probation as well as currently incarcerated. I believe that what we have experienced in life may provide explanation for choices we’ve made but in no way do they define who we are.

I have certification in CBT as well as CPT. I view counseling as something which isn’t one size fits all and maintain an eclectic approach utilizing DBT, CBT, Schema, CPT and whatever other tools may benefit a client in recovering and creating the life and relationships they aspire to.

While I’m privy to an hour a week in someone’s life, I enjoy seeing the growth that they have experienced by applying what they’ve learned in session to their life outside of our time working together.

While I’m not working I enjoy reading, hiking, spending time with family and with my dogs.

I look forward to working with you while you strive to achieve whatever goals you may have whether it be improving your relationships or resolving whatever trauma you’ve yet to unpack.
