Therapists in Rocky River, OH

Hi I'm Alissa - a mental health therapist. I consider myself creatively frustrated with traditional mental health treatments that do not always address the whole person and their environment. I work to integrate the latest research into more effective and holistic mental health treatments for everyday people. I have a special interest in cognitive therapy, and enjoy talking over issues strategically and from many different viewpoints. I also often use mindfulness techniques to help people heal from anxiety and trauma. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally, and welcome people of diverse backgrounds to my practice.

When we have a safe space to talk about our feelings, they can become less overwhelming and more manageable. As a therapist, I use a strengths-based and collaborative approach to partner with my clients and their caregivers to work through stressors, express emotions, and develop coping skills. With years of experience in community mental health and healthcare, I have the most extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults who have experienced anger, anxiety, depression and trauma.

What I find to be the most rewarding in my work as a therapist is the ability to support others in gaining the confidence to break through mental barriers and overcome life challenges. By becoming more aware of the nature of the mind and our relationship to it, we are able to open ourselves up to the kind of changes we wish to make in our lives. This opens the door to a better understanding of how beliefs and attitudes about ourselves, others, and the world have been formed, and how early life experiences have impacted and shaped our sense of self over the course of time..

I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome the obstacles preventing them from living their desired life. Through counseling, we can collaborate to explore your struggles in order to help you grow and improve your quality of life. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental environment for all. I work with couples, families, and individuals. I enjoy working with people who struggle with family of origin dysfunction, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, and more. No two people are the same, so my approach to counseling varies for each individual, couple, and family.

I am accepting new clients at this time (Nov. 2023.). My past clients have shown that psychotherapy can be a life-changing investment in yourself. The payoff can be better self-esteem, less negative feelings, and more positive behavior. So, if you have been thinking about seeking a therapist, but have been holding back, you don't need to wait. A brief phone consultation may provide all you need to make this important decision.

When we are out of balance in mind, body, or spirit, the overall effect is that we don’t feel well. We become plagued by knowing something is wrong, but perhaps do not know exactly what that is, how we got there, or how to begin changing it. As the imbalance worsens, so does our discomfort, and we begin to suffer the effects of emotional dis-ease and physical disease. An imbalance commonly presents itself (for example) as anxiety or depression. When a struggle wages in the mind, its effects are often felt throughout the body in the form of fatigue, distractability, digestive problems, muscle tension, chronic pain, and more.

Allow me to be your Wise Counsel. Did your partner ask you to look a therapist me? Are you in couples counseling now realizing you need your own therapist? Tired of waiting for change? Is it time to move on, break up or take a risk? Tired of doing the same thing? Are your habits and actions not in line with who you really want to be? Are you anxious and depressed and don't know what to do? My Clients ask me these questions and more. Let's work together to find your answers to life’s questions.

The majority of us experience anxiety and/or depression at some point in our lives, but the experiences themselves can be very personal, unique, and therefore individualized. The key principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (the impact that our feelings, thoughts, and actions have on each other) can be life changing when embraced. CBT teaches us to be better stewards of ourselves and allows us to take charge of feeling better and maintaining our improvements after we've achieved them with our changed perspective and skill set.

My goal is to work with you using cognitive therapy to overcome the obstacles to improving your life.

Counseling can help with issues such as communication difficulties, marital/relationship concerns, life changes, stress/anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and behavioral problems. Clients come to me with an overall feeling that life could be better or more meaningful. I understand it can be challenging to reach out for help but remember that you are doing to make positive changes in your life! Please contact me and we can discuss your needs and decide together if I am the best option for you. My direct email is beth@fitmindcleveland.com or call me directly at 216-509-6511.

In today’s world most people have experienced a variety of stressors that seem to weave throughout life. Trying to balance a sense of normalcy in the day to day can become overwhelming when you don’t understand why you think, act, or cope the way you do. Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress and destructive thoughts can impact the relationship you have with yourself and others. Realizing you are at a point where you may need more insight or guidance can be distressing. Finding the right type of help shouldn't cause additional worry.
