Frequently Asked Questions

Awakening Mountains offers individual and group therapy utilizing a mindfulness based approach.

During your first session, Alyssa will ask you questions to get to know you better and understand what brings you to counseling. This is a time for you to share openly and for Alyssa to listen with presence and empathy. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the counseling process, fostering a space of trust and clarity.

A counseling session with Awakening Mountains typically lasts between 50 - 60 minutes, although session length may vary depending on your specific needs and preferences.

 Therapy is for everyone. Whether you are navigating a crisis, managing anxiety or depression, or undergoing significant life changes, therapy is here to support you. If you are feeling stuck, facing relationship challenges, or pursuing overall wellness, therapy offers a compassionate space for you. Seeking a safe and mindful place to share your thoughts and emotions? Therapy is here for you, providing empathy and understanding every step of the way. 

 All of our sessions together will be conducted virtually at this time. 

Telehealth, or virtual therapy brings the counseling office conveniently to you. Video sessions will be offered using a secure HIPAA compliant platform. You can receive therapy from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere private of your choosing. 

Telehealth also offers greater accessibility for those who are unable to commute to therapy or for those who live in areas with limited counseling providers and resources.

 We will work together to find a time that works for the both of us. Once we have determined what day and time that is, you will have a standing appointment at that time each week. The spot is reserved for you so that you are able to have consistent treatment. Therapy works best if we meet weekly - biweekly at first so I can get to know you more deeply and we can begin making progress sooner. Once progress is made, we may reduce sessions to monthly if you would like to. We will work together collaboratively to track progress and determine the frequency of sessions that is best for you. 

 You are invited to fill out the contact form below or give me a call to schedule a free 30-minute consultation. During this time, we will mindfully connect and explore whether we are a good fit for one another. If we both feel aligned and comfortable, we can schedule an intake session and embark on your therapeutic journey together.
