Mindfulness and meditation
As a high performing woman, I have experienced anxiety and imposter syndrome myself many times before. It can be so disheartening and frustrating to feel this way. But you do not need to feel this way forever and you are certainly not alone.
I’m Alyssa and I help other women who experience anxiety, panic attacks, and self-doubt crush their imposter syndrome, overcome negative self-talk, increase their confidence, and live happy, successful, and more fulfilled lives. I cannot wait to meet you and help you become and believe in the woman you are meant to be!
I am a licensed psychotherapist. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University and I am a NY State Licensed Mental Health Counselor, as well as a CT State Licensed Professional Counselor.
