Alyssa Kueneman, LCSW
My name is Alyssa (she/her) and I am a licensed therapist who provides holistic, trauma-informed virtual therapy throughout California. I work with teens and young adults to navigate life transitions, build a healthy sense of self, increase confidence and resiliency, and address the roadblocks that hold us back in life. I offer client-centered individual therapy. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming.
Unresolved trauma, unhealthy relationship patterns, grief, shame, anxiety, and depression can keep us feeling small and stuck in life. The good news is that it is never too late to build a life that feels worth living. The antidote to feeling stuck is taking small steps towards broadening our horizons and allowing ourselves to take up that new space. You deserve to live a big, broad, expansive life that feels full of possibility.
APPROACH + BACKGROUND
My therapeutic approach is authentic, warm, strengths-based, and includes a healthy dose of humor. My approach is collaborative in nature, I believe each individual is the expert of their own experience - my job is to walk alongside my clients and support them throughout their healing process. I draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities to cater treatment to each individual client, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, and somatic-based mindfulness interventions.
I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) with a Clinical Concentration at Columbia University School of Social Work in 2019. I have several years of experience working with adults and adolescents in a variety of settings, including hospitals and public schools. When I’m not in session, you can find me hanging with my cat, Cleo (who makes frequent appearances in therapy sessions), cooking a new recipe, or reading a good book.
