Alissa Vreeland, LPC
Founder & Owner
It became apparent to me in my journey as a client that treating anxiety can not be a ‘brain’ or ‘mind’ only approach. I found that when I simply tried to ‘talk myself out of’ anxiety symptoms.. it was a very temporary fix… or didn’t work at all.
The truth is, we store so much of our lived experiences in our bodies, including in our nervous systems. Once I began researching and educating myself about the science of stress and anxiety.. it provided me a perfect bridge to combine my training as a psychotherapist with my additional training as a yoga and mindfulness instructor.
I’ve been told that I am relatable, approachable, deeply intuitive, calming, and empowering. These professional traits are core to who I am as a person and I bring them into every session with my clients.
I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of PA (PC013788) with a graduate degree in mental health counseling and additional training in yoga, mindfulness, meditation, breath work, somatic practices, and trauma-informed movement.
My style is to be grounded, embodied, and highly present during sessions because I believe what most of us truly need is the experience of being seen, heard, and accepted by another person. I find that the relationship is the most healing part of therapeutic work and it is what I value most as a clinician.
