I’ve had the privilege of working with Alisha as my therapist for over five years, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Therapy can be daunting, especially when searching for someone who truly aligns with your needs and goals. Alisha possesses all the qualities that make an ideal therapist: patience, empathy, psychological insight, and a realistic approach.

What sets Alisha apart is her ability to meet you exactly where you are in your journey, without imposing an agenda. She empowers you to come to your own conclusions and make meaningful decisions, rather than simply telling you what to do. Her sessions feel deeply personal, yet it’s clear that her guidance is rooted in her extensive expertise and training.

One of the most remarkable aspects of her approach is her commitment to long-term growth. Alisha’s goal is never just to retain clients but to equip them with tools and insights that can be applied far beyond the therapy room. This focus on sustainability has been invaluable to me and has helped me build a stronger foundation for my life.

I am endlessly grateful for the support and growth I’ve experienced under Alisha’s care. If you’re searching for a therapist who will truly invest in your well-being, I urge you to consult with her. She is a gift to anyone seeking meaningful and transformative therapy

Forever grateful for every session with Alisha! She is the “real deal” and most importantly a woman of God. Alisha has been with me through my darkest season “Betrayal & Divorce” and continues to help me navigate through grief, emotions, fears etc. She provides a safe place, amazing insight and hope for brighter seasons!

Alisha is truly one of a kind. She was my therapist for 5+ years and helped me through some difficult patterns in my life. No matter how difficult the topic was, the session always felt safe and comfortable like talking to a friend you’ve known forever. My life is forever changed for the better. She is the best!!

I came to Alisha at one of the most difficult times in my life. She immediately made me feel like she understood me, because she has also been there but also gave me validation and advice with an honest approach. She not only felt like a therapist but someone I could be friends with. Highly recommend her!!!

A five star rating is not nearly enough! Alisha is a one-of-a-kind! She has been my saving grace for over 5 years… from my first session, wanting to run, to now looking forward to my time with her! She has been by my side through the lowest of lows, providing a safe place for vulnerability. I hear her words in my head throughout my day…the tools she has provided me are priceless. I truly believe that every single person deserves therapy. If you are lucky enough, it will be with Alisha! She is the real deal… period!
