Dr. Alissa Thompson offers comprehensive psychiatric services to support your mental health journey. She specializes in neurodivergence, ADHD, alcohol use disorder, depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. Dr. Thompson sees all ages. As an ANCC board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a healthcare career spanning more than thirteen years, Alissa designs precision treatment plans rooted in the latest evidence-based practices. Treatment plans are collaboratively developed with each patient after Alissa takes the time to truly hear their story, understand their goals, and consider the full picture.
To address major gaps in accessible treatment, Alissa also offers medication management for alcohol use disorder — including naltrexone, Vivitrol (injectable naltrexone), acamprosate, and disulfiram. She is also experienced in safely prescribing stimulant and non stimulant medications for individuals with ADHD, including children and adolescents.
Alissa is currently accepting new patients via telehealth. To book an intake appointment or a free 15-minute consultation, please visit our linked website, send a message through psychology today, or call 773-257-3435 — we are happy to help!
