About

Hi, there! My name is Alyssa Cook and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy and evidence-based techniques. I work with a diverse range of adult clients who are navigating various life transitions/adjustments, anxiety, and depression. My approach My approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SF), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I integrate elements from each of these theoretical approaches to meet the unique needs and preferences of each of my clients. I strive to cultivate a therapeutic relationship characterized by warmth, empathy, and authenticity, while also employing evidence-based techniques and interventions to promote positive change and growth. By drawing different therapeutic strategies, I create a supportive and empowering environment where clients can explore, learn, and grow. My focus I work with a diverse range of adult clients who are navigating various life challenges. These may include individuals experiencing difficult life adjustments or transitions, such as career changes, relationship issues, relocation, or major life events like marriage, divorce, or parenthood. I also work with clients who are seeking therapy to cope with symptoms of anxiety, such as excessive worry, panic attacks, or phobias, which can significantly impact their daily functioning and overall well-being. Similarly, I work to support clients who are struggling with depression, characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, low energy, and loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed. My communication style I create a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive tone/environment for sessions with my clients. I strive to cultivate a space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly and authentically.
