Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward healing takes courage. That alone, I want you to know, is powerful – just by reaching out. When we meet, my hope is that you will feel seen, heard, and most important of all, safe. It doesn’t matter if you’re a parent seeking support for your kiddo, or if you are an adult ready to dive into what’s heavy on your heart. I am here to meet you exactly where you are. I use play therapy, trauma-focused approaches, and so much curiosity to help you uncover what’s under the surface. Because real healing? It happens when we get to the root together. 

You can expect our sessions to feel warm, genuine, and specifically tailored to you. You aren’t alone, because I will be walking with you on your journey, not leading from the front. We’ll explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns, all at your pace. And you’ll be equipped with tools that really work in your everyday, real life. If you need to reach me between sessions for scheduling changes, updates, or just to share something important, feel free to reach me directly at (573) 580-0836 or alissa@healingacademymo.com. I’m here and ready when you are.  

Take a breath. You’ve taken the first step. I’m proud of you! I’ll walk you through the next one. 

Peace, love, and light. 

Alissa
