Teletherapy for Delaware

As a biology major and a candidate for a Ph.D. in neuroscience I became interested in helping people with emotional, cognitive, or behavioral problems. In 1974 I studied at the Institute for Rational Emotive Therapy in New York City and was trained by Dr. Albert Ellis, PhD. I love working with children, adolescents, and adults using cognitive behavioral therapy to help people live more satisfying lives. I had also started the first partial hospital program in Delaware and worked ten years running an inpatient program. I work in a private practice and work closely with schools agencies and employers to ensure continuity of care.

Seeking help for your mental health is the most important decision that you will make in your life with long-lasting results. It is my vision that everyone should live free of judgment, distress, discomfort, and free of emotional turmoil. As a society, we have become conditioned to sit in our lives, to accept our circumstances, however unpleasant they are. Therapy can help overcome those circumstances. Together this can be achieved. I will stick by you and help you live the life you want. I use motivational interviewing techniques, CBT methods and my therapeutic modality is based on a psychodynamic /psychoanalytic foundation.

My goal is to help people feel better and function better. Most people come for help because they don't feel well emotionally or they have problems in dealing with others. Work stress, family dynamics or even the inability to find a meaningful relationship are common in today's world. Together we explore new options. I belief that individuals go through life making the best decisions they can given the information they have. No one gets up in the morning and thinks, "today I will shoot myself in the foot," yet in hindsight some decisions could have been better.

To your friends and family, you’re succeeding. You consistently achieve while always pleasing those around you. Inside? It’s different. You have high standards to live up to, and anything less feels like failure. There is a lingering feeling that no matter how much you accomplish, it's never quite enough. You overthink, always analyzing situations and decisions extensively, and it’s exhausting. It’s hard to relax and quieting your mind seems impossible. Now, you’re ready to overcome those feelings of self-doubt, indecision, and your fear of disappointing others. You’re ready to focus on what matters.

Hi there, I'm Alisha, and I have extensive experience working with autistic clients from stages of early identification and diagnosis throughout the life span. I specialize in parent coaching and education to help foster goal achievement related to parenting. I use psychoeducation and evidence-based strategy to navigate ways to best support individual needs.

I work with women who are considering or approaching major life transitions or milestones. Those who are smart and ambitious and tend towards perfectionism which leaves them questioning themselves and experiencing stress and worry. Those who are entering a new decade, deciding to switch careers, contemplating marriage and/or parenthood, all the while navigating daily stressors and everyday lives. I work with individuals who are looking to be kinder to themselves and figure out what they really want.

Guiding my work is the belief that life is precious, and that learning to live more fully in the present relieves suffering. I will work with you confidentially. I will expertly help you manage extreme stress, discover strengths, and change patterns getting in the way of health and happiness. I work actively and collaboratively, and am eager to help adults struggling with a whole range of problems including: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and confidence, abuse and trauma, relationship issues, separation/divorce, personality issues, severe illness, and substance abuse.

We are all trying our best, myself included. Somedays, we take small steps forward, and other days we move backward or stay still. I know it takes a lot of courage to decide to come to therapy, to take that step towards facing what gets in the way of living your best life. If you are like most of us, you have already been working hard to get there by reading, listening to podcasts, talking to friends, and searching yourself for the answers. I get it; change is hard and can feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes we need a safe space and a teammate to continue our growth. If you are looking for an ally on your journey, reach out.

Are you feeling anxious, sad, hurt, angry, afraid, or even irritable? Are you wondering if you are over-thinking things, worrying too much, struggling with trust issues, or being overly cautious?

Whatever the reason may be that you are now considering counseling, we are here to help.

Do you find yourself wondering how so much of your life has been dominated by your anxiety? Maybe you feel trapped by your past relationships - with family, friends, romantic partners - and want to move forward without dragging that all along with you? Or maybe you've gotten to young or middle adulthood and realized that you're not quite sure who you are? All of these scenarios can be paralyzing at times AND they are also part of being human. The good news is that you don't have to keep trying to "figure it all out" on your own.

Thank you for your interest. My practice is NO longer taking new clients. My ideal client is one who shows up ready to do their work. They may not have clarity or insight about what should happen next, but they know that they want to feel better &/or have their lives function in a better way. That’s a client who makes my work easier. I know that they will match my efforts. My second ideal client is one who has had a not-so-good or effective therapeutic experience in their past, but they’re willing to try again.
