Alyssa Desroches, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

Nurturing, kind, honest, and having a sense of humor. As much I am kind and compassionate, I am equally as direct, and I support accountability.

Something to know about my approach is:

I have a personal understanding of how difficult certain aspects of life can be. I strive to understand who my clients are as a whole, complex person. My goal is to instill hope, empower you, and build upon the strengths you have within yourself.

Together, we will:

Have a safe place for you to be your authentic self! We will find ways for you to reach your goals in therapy and in life, and improve relationships - whether that be the relationships in your life, or the one you have with yourself.

I specialize in working with people who:

Turn to substances or destructive behaviors to cope. Who have experienced traumatic or difficult challenges in life. Who are ready to take therapy seriously, and understand that therapy is a collaborative effort that requires mutual trust.

I became a therapist because:

I have overcome many personal challenges, and thrive when I am able to provide this service to others.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

We are a group practice that strive to make therapy comfortable and fun. We strive to make therapy more accessible to all, and to break MH stigmas.
