Teletherapy for Santa Rosa, CA

Are you having a hard time transitioning back to the new norm (Post-Pandemic)? Or maybe you are a parent/guardian and your child is having a hard time re-adjusting Post-Pandemic? My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment, where you can feel free to speak openly and honestly. My approach is wholehearted and sincere where you can expect a safe space while we explore issues and work together to gain greater clarity and resolve areas of conflict. Whether it is me who you choose to work with or a different therapist, I am proud of you for taking this chance on you.

YOU ARE DOING "ALL*THE*THINGS," but you’re emotionally and physically exhausted all the time. You're on autopilot, going through the daily motions, but not living your best life. You put your needs last, with caring for others first. You don’t want to burden or worry your friends or family, with your problems. You self sacrifice only to stay stressed and unfulfilled, with your life and relationships. There is no work-life balance and you don’t know where to start. You don't have to continue down this stressful path, you can gain back energy. CHANGE IS POSSIBLE. With getting the right help, you can create a life worth living!

I offer a warm, relational, effective approach to therapy. Through careful attunement and tracking of your story, I help you to tend to the places that need attention, create safety in your nervous system, and help you get to know and care for the soul. I work with various modalities including psychodynamically, (looking into childhood) with depth (the unconscious) , and with the tools of mindfulness (coming into the present moment). I also utilize Brainspotting, which is a deep brain technique to efficiently process deeply rooted traumas. I draw on research in the areas of trauma, attachment, and the brain to ground my practice.

You just want to feel better, I get it, I've been there too! Maybe you are struggling with trauma from a recent event, childhood, or an abusive relationship? It may have you depressed, anxious, panicked, wondering who this person is, and finding relationships hard to manage. Maybe you have tried some things on your own or therapy in the past but it did work, we can dig deep together to find the root cause of these issues and strategize a plan that works for you. This may be traditional talk therapy, body therapy, attachment work, or EMDR. Through these techniques we'll work to free you from distress, pain, anger and grief.

When life seems overwhelming, sometimes the most important thing is knowing you aren't alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 10 years of experience providing therapy for adults, teens, and couples. I specialize in helping people recover from trauma and use a variety of techniques including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based treatment for trauma. I also specialize in working with teens and young adults as they navigate challenging life transitions. I am currently accepting a limited number of new clients.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I get excited about helping people find their personal path of growth, healing and self-discovery. I want to support you feeling safe and supported just as you are. I support all identities and relationship expressions and want to help you find more comfort and empowerment in your life.

I know this feels like one of the lowest moments in your life. Maybe alcohol feels like your closest ally and no one understands. Perhaps the trauma of the past keeps haunting you or the communication between you and your loved ones is not working. You are doing the right thing by reaching out and the fact that you arrived here shows that there is hope ahead. We will find you comfort without the consequences of addiction. Your loved ones will hear you and understand you. A full nights sleep without nightmares is possible. You deserve to exhale and feel peace and security. You are not alone and I would be honored to guide you.

You will find me empathetic and interested in the ways you want to approach your care, ready to listen and ready to assist. Clients who connect with me want expertise, humor, positive regard, support, and warmth. Therapy requires a dual commitment and understanding of how each of us works, so both should bring equal commitment to this tough, demanding and rewarding challenge. Together we approach the difficulties, creating safety, pace, and space. The way we relate together compared to other relationships in a person's life is often the path toward healing when it is examined with courageousness and trust.

We all need help sometimes - and I believe it's a sign of strength to reach out for support when you need it. If you are feeling anxious or angry, have difficulty navigating relationships, are feeling unhappy in work, or want help integrating a transformational experience, and appreciate a therapist who is authentic and collaborative, then you've come to the right place. With me you'll learn practical strategies to manage your emotions, change your patterns and increase your overall functioning, leaving you feeling empowered.

I am a seasoned therapist with over 20 years of experience working with clients of diverse backgrounds and orientations. My approach is eclectic and tailored toward each individual. I draw on many years of bereavement work (directing a hospice program), trauma (including EMDR), and mindfulness training (as a meditation and yoga instructor and spiritual director). Recently, I have been certified as a psychedelic-assisted therapist and am working with ketamine. I'm a visual artist and writer and enjoy working with creative folks. Many of my clients come to me in the midst of grief, trauma, or life transitions. See alissahirshfeld.com

Are you feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed, scared, in pain, in conflict? Perhaps you're a couple who've lost your connection, you're arguing all the time, or feeling betrayed or let down. I have helped many couples find the love, trust, respect and affection they used to share, and build a stronger, healthier foundation on which to continue growing. Perhaps you're an individual in crisis, or in a life transition, or lonely, depressed, anxious, or desperate for change. Together we will uncover your inner strength, recalibrate your direction, and open doors to a rewarding future. Maybe you have a child or teen in need of support.

I want to provide a safe space where you can be truly open and honest about the realities of your life; the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have experience treating mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and OCD. I also have experience working with couples navigating relational challenges. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and teens. I want to meet you right where you are and walk with you toward health, healing, and a meaningful life.

Accepting new clients Welcome. You have taken the most important first step in your health, your families health and/or your child’s health. I am a Clinical Psychologist who has been working with children, teens and families for over 20 years. I will work collaboratively with you to help you in your path to health. When working with you and your family I believe what is fundamental to change is the relationship. I will help to create a safe and supportive collaboration, where you and your family can work on strategies to support what works, and change what is no longer working.

I am here to help you listen to the signals of your body, mind, heart and relationship that are calling for a new way of being. Often these signals come in the form of conflict, sexual blocks, loneliness, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief; I believe they are an initiation. Something is out of sync: you know all the "right" things to do, and yet they still don't seem to get to the heart of the problem. You are beginning therapy because part of you knows it would be more uncomfortable to continue "business-as-usual" than to open to change.

I specialize in helping my clients manage stress, create emotional stability, heal trauma and improve their relationships with themselves and their loved ones. As a yoga instructor, when appropriate, I integrate mindfulness techniques, and yoga into my work with clients (yoga therapy.) I am a certified EMDR therapist. I work with PTSD and attachment traumas.

Psychotherapy is about freedom: Freedom from suffering, freedom to improve what is working poorly in one's life and freedom to develop as an authentic human being. It's also about exploration within a relationship where safety and trust are established; feelings are honored; pain is healed. My commitment is to listen carefully, provide support, understand your concerns, help you to gain insight and guide you to identify available options while respecting your right to make your own choices. My style: Engaged and interactive. Capacity for empathy: Substantial. Methodology is always matched to individual, couple and family needs.

Is there something in your life that you want to change but are uncertain how to begin? I’m here to help. My goal is to help you get what you need by actively listening and providing you with the skills and tools to overcome your obstacles and make that change. Because every person is different, I offer a person-centered approach to exploring and tackling the unique challenges you’re experiencing.

I help kids, teens, and families experiencing divorce create a fulfilling “new normal” by moving from stuck and overwhelmed to thriving and free. I know that you are more than a person going through a divorce. It is overwhelming to ensure your kids are supported, especially while you are learning what it means to be a single parent, navigating the impossible waters of being a healthy co-parent, adjusting to the new financial realities, and not to mention dealing with your own heartbreak.
