Alyssa Earlen, MA, LPC

Hi, I'm Alyssa! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC).

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety or intrusive thoughts begin to take over. Many people find themselves stuck in cycles of overthinking or patterns that feel hard to break, leaving them disconnected from the life they want to live. Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful change.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults experiencing OCD, anxiety, body image concerns, and eating disorders/disordered eating. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, understood, and accepted as we work together toward healing and growth.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Person-Centered Therapy, Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I believe therapy isn't about "getting rid" of difficult thoughts or emotions, but about changing your relationship with them so they no longer control your life. Together, we work to understand the patterns that keep you stuck while building practical tools to help you respond differently to thoughts, emotions, and urges. In this process, we’ll identify your strengths, explore what matters most to you, and help you feel more grounded and present in daily life–even when things are tough.

Whether you are navigating a difficult season or seeking support for long-standing challenges, my goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you with compassion and care.
