Alyssa Hughes, ACMHC
Therapist
What She’s Good At
Alyssa helps clients unmask the parts of themselves they’ve had to hide just to get through the day. Her work is grounded in helping people reconnect with their authentic selves, release the constant pressure to perform, and finally feel seen—not just for what they’re carrying, but for who they are
Why You’ll Click With Her
Alyssa is the kind of therapist who’ll see all of you—the messy, brilliant, exhausted, and hopeful parts—and hold space for each one without judgment.
What Makes Her Your Go-To Person
Therapy with Alyssa feels like a conversation with someone who really gets it. She weaves together somatic work, IFS, feminist therapy, and a deep understanding of the systems you move through to help you make sense of what’s happening in your body and your world. Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating ADHD, or healing from trauma, Alyssa creates a space that feels collaborative, empowering, and deeply human.
