A little about Me…

Alyssa LLoyd, Licensed clinical social worker

Intention

My intention is to help you uncover your infinite potential by harnessing the power of your mind, body, and spirit. I cherish your individuality and will partner with you to find creative and effective methods to find your way to the best version of you.  My style is warm, authentic, and nurturing. Don't let the easygoing nature fool you though! I will challenge you to meet your goals and to look at yourself and situations with depth and honesty.  My goal is to help you learn to cope with the ups and downs of life, gain lasting insights, and create healthy new lifestyle patterns so that you can get down to the business of living your very best life.  

I began my professional career at the University of California San Diego, serving an acutely and persistently mentally ill population.  I  have also worked with more specialized populations, including Veterans, children & adolescents, and trauma survivors. In my private practice,  I work with folks of all ages, from all walks of life. 

That's a little about me as a therapist. A little about me as a person...

 I grew up on the east coast, in the country, in a household of women. My interest/specialization in women's issues and women's groups has it's roots there.  I've lived many lives. A dancer, an entrepreneur, a writer, a bartender, a food critic, a manual laborer. I've lived through depression and other epic life struggles. These days, I spend my time listening, teaching or practicing yoga, traveling, quietly savoring beautiful wild places, and loving my loved ones fiercely. 

In a nutshell...

I'm a highly trained listener with an extensive knowledge base regarding the human mind and how to treat mental health challenges. But first and foremost I am a human being. Just like you. I certainly don't have all the answers. But I do have some highly effective ways of helping you find YOUR answers. And I can't wait to meet you!
