Alyssa Tortorella

Alyssa Tortorella, LMHC understands that initiating therapy can be intimidating and therefore takes care to ensure a therapeutic setting that emanates non-judgment and compassion. Sessions with Alyssa are interactive, with client and therapist working as a team to clarify treatment goals, establish a course of action, and move toward self-actualization. Alyssa welcomes open, direct, and ongoing feedback, and is always willing to alter sessions to meet the client’s changing circumstances and priorities. Alyssa combines complementary methodologies and techniques that can be tailored to meet the needs and goals of each client. Her approach is holistic, incorporating the mind-body connection. She also draws upon her extensive training and experience in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI). Alyssa works with children, adolescents, and adults. She has extensive experience as a therapist for individuals and families, as well as a facilitator of support groups. Alyssa has enjoyed working with a diverse clientele in a range of settings, including inpatient treatment centers, substance-abuse treatment centers, hospitals, and schools.
