From Alyssa:
1.What sorts of things do you enjoy doing with your leisure time?
Unwinding and self-care are important in this career. Outside of the office, you may find me spending time with my husband and our families, cooking and enjoying meals, exercising and getting outside for sunshine or skiing, reading, and traveling with friends.
2. So tell us a little bit about what you do, the services you offer and where your located.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adults, teens, children, and families. My counseling is based on the premise that you are capable of enhancing your own quality of life through goal-setting, learning new skills, and improving your coping and communication skills. My goal is to help you find relief for your life stressors and better understand how you’re thinking, feeling, and behaving.
I've worked in Fayette, Greene, and Washington Counties in behavioral health and mobile therapy and recently came from Seton Hill Univ. in Greensburg, where I provided mental health counseling and alcohol and drug education, counseling, and programming. I'm excited to be back in Uniontown to join Momentum's quality services.
3. Aside from purposes of income, why do you do what you do? What do you enjoy most about your work?
I've never dreaded going to work. Even during the more challenging times, I'm energized by my clients' strength - just coming in for therapy takes guts for many people. I'm honored to be present for them and be permitted to join someone's difficult life experience. I get to bring research, skills, and theory to our unique dynamic in session.
4. Do you have a mission statement, or to put it more simply, do you have a mission in general when you think about completing your work?
My personality leads me to have a generally warm and welcoming approach, combined with cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and play therapy, mindfulness, and wellness planning & activities. Some of the concerns I treat include anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral/emotional disorders, adjustment disorders, and relationship issues. I also work with clients interested in improving self-esteem, coping skills, communication/socialization, anger management, attachment issues, marital/relationship issues, family conflict, sadness, stress, academic/work issues, and LGBTQIA+ issues.

As a busy mom of two leisure time is not something that I know much about! I spend a lot of time with my children at their activities. However, I do enjoy many things in life!
