About Alissa Hirshfeld-Flores
I offer psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, children, and families,
providing personalized and thoughtful support and guidance to help you
create more satisfaction in your life. I have 20 years experience
working with diverse ages, backgrounds, and lifestyles.
People usually seek therapy from a desire to feel better and to live a more satisfying and authentic life. Often, people are seeking more fulfillment from their relationships, their work, or their lives in general. You may be struggling to accept circumstances you did not choose, to adjust to a transition in your life, or to end behaviors that you recognize are not serving you.
With adults and adolescents, I combine depth psychotherapy (which may include examining your early family history, looking at your dreams, or using creative expression), with solution-oriented counseling. I am inquisitive, welcoming, and warm, and I use humor and compassion to help in the healing process. Some of my areas of specialty include grief and loss; life transitions; fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum issues; and eating disorders (I currently also work with PsychStrategies' Quest program).
With children, I use art, play, and sandtray therapy, as well as the bond that develops between us, to help them to express feelings they may not be able to articulate, learn more adaptive behaviors, or improve interpersonal relationships. Parents are included in the treatment plan.
