Alissa Bohmann
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Alissa
Welcome.
Deciding to begin therapy can bring up a mix of emotions: uncertainty, anxiety, fear, or even hope. As a therapist, I deeply respect the courage it takes to take that first step. My hope is to walk alongside you as you navigate your own journey toward healing, clarity, and growth.
My approach to counseling is eclectic, drawing from a variety of methods to best support your unique needs. I believe our past experiences shape how we show up in the present, and that exploring these layers can lead to meaningful insight and change. I also work from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that both children and adults are resilient and, with the right support, can access the tools they need to move forward.
In addition to addressing a range of mental health concerns, I have a particular understanding of issues related to adoption, foster care, and multicultural identity. These are deeply personal and complex areas, often connected to core questions of identity: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I belong? I have completed specialized training through the Center for Adoption Support and Education, and I strive to offer a space where these stories can be explored with care, curiosity, and respect.
You may be wondering whether we would be a good fit, and that is an important question.
We may work well together if:
*You are hoping to work with a therapist who is warm, supportive, and able to gently challenge you when needed.
*You value an eclectic, individualized approach to counseling that draws from multiple methods to meet your unique needs.
*You appreciate a strengths-based perspective that recognizes resilience in both children and adults.
*You are looking for someone who values mutual respect, honesty, and time, and who can both hold space and help you move toward solutions.
*You want a therapist you can laugh with, cry with, and grow with, someone who is present, engaged, and committed to the work alongside you.
If any of this resonates with you, please feel free to reach out to discuss availability. I would be honored to be part of your journey.
