Therapists in Oxford, MI

We are the writers of our own story; therapy just provides an editor to sort out some of the more challenging parts of that story. I believe everyone's life experience is unique and, because of that, you truly know yourself best. All that being said, Hello! I am Alisa (ah-lee-sah), a licensed professional counselor. I received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Michigan University, and bachelor's in Psychology with a minor in Communication at Oakland University. During my internship, I spent time at a women's shelter working with survivors of domestic abuse and interpersonal partner violence.

I believe that kindness, compassion, and empathy are powerful tools to assist clients with building self worth and promoting positive change. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist and believe it is my calling to work with people to gain personal clarity, improve awareness, and remove barriers that block inner wisdom and self love. I address issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, spirituality, and relationship conflict. I also work with clients to explore illness and disease in the body using the mind/body connection.

I know life does not always go as planned. Sometimes we need to talk to someone. When we need help with our physical bodies, we see a medical doctor. When our mind and heart hurt and we need help untangling our thoughts and feelings, we find a therapist. I am here with you as we find sources of pain, learn skills to help, and build a life worth living.

Life is about transition and transformation, from the time we enter the world, and with every transition comes increased exposure to greater life stressors. These stressors may result in sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, PTSD, impaired relationships, anger or addiction. Through therapy, we will explore the origin of those symptoms, identify positive coping techniques, establish healthy boundaries and implement change, allowing for personal growth and improved self-efficacy. Hope and healing begins today, with just one phone call.

Here is where your inner child will meet its Match! As a Traveling Therapist, I can meet you and your inner child in your natural setting. My goal is to identify challenges and triggers that will help me identify and connect with your inner child. This will guide me to identify the barriers affecting your ability to communicate, relate and create healthy relationships. My Therapy approaches are perfect for Friends, Family, Parenting, Marriage and Pre Marital Couples.

In the hardest moments of life, it makes sense to seek support — someone to help shoulder the pain and guide you through. If you are feeling overwhelmed by relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, or trauma, counseling is a safe space where you can be seen and heard without judgment. As your therapist, I will be a compassionate guide to walk beside you as you take steps toward healing, learn to work through conflict or trauma in healthy ways, and start to understand your own story.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who received my Master’s Degree in Counseling at Oakland University. I provide therapy services for adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, stress, grief, and many other life or relationship problems. My strengths as a therapist begin with my ability to make clients feel comfortable while being fully engaged and invested in their progress. My clients regularly comment on my ability to remember even the simplest of details from previous sessions even upon returning to therapy years later.

I know you can heal and find peace by working with me. I have an integrative approach and view healing through a whole body perspective. I am almost complete with doctorates in Integrative Medicine and Natural Medicine. I am a fascia expert, author, trauma expert, and I believe in accountability by moving you forward with equipping you with coping mechanisms that work for you, and I free you from the past. Past trauma, emotion, and energy get stored in the fascia of the body, which effects your mental and emotional health, so my approach is unique. I will guide you to adapt a growth mindset of empowerment.

Do you ever want to feel validated, heard, understood, and not judged by others? Are you still recovering from pain due to grief or trauma? Some days it feels like you are alone and misunderstood, but it does not have to be that way. Based on my experience as a clinical therapist, I specialize in working with Teens and adults focusing on but not limited to anger management, anxiety, depression, grief and loss with a vision to empower clients to feel confident, assurance within themselves, closure and normalize feelings with reasonable solutions and coping skills to manage everyday life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (LP), and completed my degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Detroit Mercy in Detroit, MI. I also completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Ascension Genesys in Grand Blanc, MI, specializing in Clinical Health Psychology. I am fluent in both English and Mandarin. I significantly appreciate individuals’ unique cultural backgrounds and work to cultivate collaborative relationships with each of my clients.

Facing challenges is inevitable in life, but that doesn't mean those challenges have to be faced alone. As a therapist, I have a genuine interest in understanding your story in a deep & meaningful way. With time, we can work together to help you develop a stronger sense of self & agency as we learn about your patterns of emotions, thoughts & beliefs through treatment.

I offer evidence-based psychotherapeutic services rooted in Cognitive Behavioral, Psychoanalytic, and Humanistic foundations. I offer authenticity. I offer empathy. I offer a safe space, free of judgement.

Sometimes everyday life stressors and responsibilities can get the best of us, and we struggle to find where to go or who to turn to. If you are looking to release the burden of these everyday stressors in a safe and therapeutic space, I am here to help.

Life can be challenging, that's why finding a therapist that you connect with and trust can be essential to your treatment. As a thoughtful and empathetic therapist, my job is to provide a safe and welcoming space to focus on deepening the understanding of yourself. Therapy is a way of nurturing the process of healing and growth to promote positive change. Often, the most difficult part of this journey is taking that first step. Feel free to contact me, we can work towards taking this first step together.
