About Alysse Tarantino, Counselor

You wonder if your life has any purpose. You wish to experience more joy and deeper connections with others. Perhaps you feel so alone and believe that if people really knew you, they would not accept you.

Alysse believes that you are not alone in whatever you are experiencing right now, and that no one is too far gone to experience healing and hope. Using a warm and curious approach, she creates an environment where you can find the freedom to explore whatever is on your mind. Healing might be uncomfortable at times, but Alysse is passionate about building a safe and collaborative space where you can try out new ways of being in this world.
