Alissa Blackman, MFT

I tried a session and was amazed! she did a great job getting at the real issues in a very quick way. She really cares and her bodywork based approach is both innovative and hews close to a deeper truth than words can say.
Sitting in a chair talking, I sometimes find myself performing for my therapist. I theorize, i analyze, i explain, all easily, but it can take a long time to identify my deeper feelings. Then it takes a longer time to connect those feelings to actionable change opportunities.
After she gained some basic understanding, Alissa got me on a massage table and rubbed my shoulders. I felt myself relax and let go of verbal defenses. I told a deeper truth. It was so efficient!
This is not massage plus chat. This is a branch of psychotherapy, with its own process and structure and theory. Alissa’s experience and skill rests on many years of training and rigorous qualifications.
If you are looking for someone who can help you get over the limits of talk-​based therapy, without abandoning the effective parts of psychotherapy, give Alissa a call.
