Do you feel that you've tried everything, but just aren't feeling satisfied with your life? Are you feeling "stuck?" Does it look like you have the perfect life from the outside, but you aren't truly enjoying it? In today's busy, rushed, "connected" world, we can often feel alone with our most intimate struggles, and even disconnected from ourselves. Therapy with a caring and attentive professional can allow you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a deeper way, allowing discovery of new perspectives and choices along the way.

Trauma is often the result of an overwhelming amount of stress that exceeds one's ability to cope, or integrate the emotions involved with that experience- We work to relieve symptoms of trauma from a difficult childhood, challenging relationships or events that have contributed to anxiety, depression, addiction and more.

Life is relationship. People come to therapy because their relationships seem strained: You feel misunderstood by your partner, fights increasing, the distance between you growing. You're not on the same page parenting the kids. There are fewer "good times." You feel alone. You crave a renewing, loving relationship, more family harmony. Perhaps you have not succeeded in creating the fulfilling relationship you desire and suffer in its absence, flying solo- anxious, depressed, bored. Can't relax, overwhelmed by your job. The therapeutic work we do together can help you overcome these challenges, building more satisfying, loving relationships, a better fitting life.

Most people, at some point in their lives, encounter periods of difficulty, change and transition; when personal issues affect their work or relationships.

My goal is to provide a warm, supportive environment, in which clients can develop coping strategies, problem solving skills, and confidence.

I understand the apprehension in seeking therapy and counseling. I also understand the importance of obtaining therapy in a safe and non-judgmental environment. There are times when we all face a need to seek counsel and professional therapy with someone who is able to relate to your struggles. My clients are provided a safe and understanding environment; an environment where we are able to focus on "solutions". My experience includes working with children, teens and adolescents in the schools environment and in my private practice; teaching them positive coping skills to address anger management issues.

Hello and Welcome! I would like to begin by letting you know that- "I LOVE what I do!!". It is an honor and a privilege for me to have the opportunity to meet each one of you and listen to your story! I believe EVERYONE can benefit from some type of therapy. We all have a need to process and find our own understanding to life in general. Based on research: the two main variables that allow therapy to be effective are: 1) the relationship with the therapist; and 2) a safe environment. My practice offers a variety of options for you to choose from. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Best, Allison Landa, LMFT

For many life can be one of two things, either you feel like you are never enough so why try or you feel like you have to always keep pushing and keep going never able to relax. If never enough, you have tried everything to pull yourself out and people are quick to tell you how, so you put on a smile to hide it. On the other, you pride yourself on how much you accomplish but feel less than when you slow. Maybe you are struggling in a relationship and ready to learn how to not only have healthier relationship-building boundaries but also interested in learning out how to draw closer through empathetic attunement.

Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the BRAVEST thing we will ever do -Brené Brown- Reaching out for help can be scary but I challenge you to take a step and start the work within. Most people struggle with change and return back to their old ways because it resonates comfort with familiarity. Change comes with uncertainty but I promise, if you commit and invest in yourself, you will not be disappointed with the outcome. Once you start seeing life from a new perspective, you will begin to feel and think differently. Remember, you are courageous. You are strong. Allow yourself the opportunity for growth.

All of us may go through difficult times and sometimes we need additional support. Do you have problems in your relationships? Difficulties with your significant other, your friends, or your family? Do you feel lonely; even around others? Are you suffering the loss of someone close to you? Are the following statements familiar to you: "I feel empty", "I can't sleep, I can't eat", "I don't know who I am anymore"... "I'm lost". While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life
