I’m Dr. Alyssa Sceppaguercio, PhD, LMHC-D, an Executive Clinical Supervisor, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDR Approved Consultant, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I provide a warm, supportive space where clients can feel safe exploring healing and growth. My clinical experience spans collegiate and professional athletics, psychiatric rehabilitation, and private practice. I specialize in working with collegiate and professional athletes, individuals experiencing complex trauma, PTSD, and dissociative disorders, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community navigating identity and relational dynamics.
I believe therapy works best when it is grounded in a genuine, authentic relationship. Building trust takes time, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to seek support. My role is to walk alongside you offering guidance, tools, and evidence-based care while you remain in the driver’s seat of your life.
My approach integrates a humanistic, person-centered foundation with trauma-focused modalities including EMDR, CPT, CBT, and Ego State/Parts Work. I am not afraid to ask meaningful, sometimes challenging questions in service of growth, and I believe each person has the capacity to transform painful experiences into resilience, fulfillment, and well-being.
