“Balance is the core of health. We feel and function best when our body’s system is in balance, and when we’re in balance with friends, family, community, and nature.” -Dr. Bruce D. Perry

Hi, my name is Alisha McGovern. I obtained a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University. I started my professional training at a residential treatment facility where I worked with a culturally diverse population experiencing various symptoms such as psychosis, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and addiction. I have received training in cognitive processing therapy (CPT), written exposure therapy (WET), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI). I embrace a client-centered approach to therapy to meet the needs of clients. I am committed to empowering clients to understand and solve challenges through healthy communication and effective coping strategies.
