Hi, I’m DR. ALisa Angelone.

I am passionate about helping clients struggle less, feel more comfortable with themselves, and obtain usable tools to cope with whatever may come their way.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, boundaries, or unmanageable expectations, you don’t have to face it alone. I’m a clinical psychologist with a deep commitment to helping people reconnect with themselves and build meaningful lives that bring them more peace and acceptance. I specialize in evidence-based treatments. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in research to help you create real, lasting change.

Get started

WHAT TO EXPECT IN THERAPY

  • I work collaboratively with you to figure out where you’re getting stuck, ways to help you get unstuck, and find the right tools for you that you can use far after therapy with me has ended. To do this, I get to know you, what is working for you, what isn’t working for you, and where you’d like to be. We can then start to hone in on what your values and goals are, sift out what is really important to you, and focus on engaging in new ways of thinking, feeling, and interacting with the world that align with your values and goals.

  • It’s important for us to be on the same page, for you to understand why we’re doing the things we’re doing, and why we’re talking about the things we’re talking about.

  • Therapy with me is more how your current patterns are working for you and what we can do today to help you feel better. We can discuss things from your childhood, if you want to, but we won’t spend all of our time focusing on that phase of your life if it doesn’t apply. I want to understand how your life is working (or not working) right now, as well as any potential areas for change that may make you to feel more comfortable, less anxious, less depressed, and more equipped to deal with situations in the future.
