alyssa sontag psychotherapy
Hi I’m Alyssa.
Welcome.
I believe therapy should feel like a conversation—one that creates space for healing, growth, and challenges you with compassion along the way.
My style is warm, honest, and collaborative, and I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself from day one.
I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, substance use, and other areas of speciality. Every person is very different, so I tailor therapy to you rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
My hope is that our work together helps you better understand yourself, feel more empowered, resilient, and make meaningful and grounded changes— that last.
My specialites
Trauma & Emotional Healing
Past experiences don't have to define your future. Together we'll process difficult experiences, build resilience, and move toward lasting healing.
Anxiety & Panic
Learn practical tools to manage anxiety, quiet racing thoughts, and feel more grounded and in control.
High Achievers, Stress & Burnout
Therapy can help you manage perfectionism, chronic stress, and burnout while reconnecting with balance and what matters most.
Substance Use & Recovery
With over 10 years of personal and professional recovery experience, I provide compassionate support for addiction, sobriety, relapse prevention, and long-term healing.
Children, Teens & Young Adults
I help young people navigate anxiety, self-esteem, emotional regulation, relationships, family challenges, identity, and life's transitions.
A Space to Slow Down
My office is located in the heart of beautiful Mill Valley, offering a calm private space to step away from the demands of everyday life. I believe there's something uniquely powerful about meeting in person, however I also offer secure telehealth sessions for clients who prefer to meet remotely.
