A Bit About Me

Alyssa Leister

Hi there, my name is Alyssa Leister! I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling.

Life is full of constant change, challenges, and unexpected obstacles, and I know how overwhelming it can feel when those moments arise. I’m deeply passionate about supporting clients through these difficult times, offering guidance and understanding as we navigate life’s complexities together. I want you to know that you don’t have to walk it alone.

I understand that stepping into counseling can feel vulnerable, but my goal is to help you see how transformative this journey can be by working to create a safe and open space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

My approach is rooted in authenticity, and I believe in the power of curiosity to spark meaningful change. As we work together, I’ll support you in uncovering your inner resilience, building practical skills to cope with life’s challenges, and developing the tools necessary to move forward. My aim is not just to help you heal but to empower you to live a life filled with purpose, joy, and fulfillment. Whatever you’re navigating, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Together, we’ll build a foundation of strength, hope, and growth. Ready when you are!
