Alessia Morrell, MA
Registered Psychotherapist
Do you feel like a prisoner of your own mind?
​​​
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Do your thoughts race and jump to the worst case scenario? Do you experience irritability, sadness or overwhelm? Perhaps you notice physical symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, or a racing heart?
Whether you're paralyzed by anxiety, need help processing your trauma, or are struggling with substance abuse, I'm here to offer you a safe, non-judgmental space. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and respected.​ Life is difficult enough, why go through our struggles alone?​​​​​
