About me
Over the last 10 years I have worked with adolescents and families with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, divorce/blended family, abuse, grief/loss, and trauma issues. I have been trained to work with teens and families going through difficult life changes. Life can be difficult for us to navigate at any age and no one should feel like they have to do it alone. I have discovered that building a supportive and enthusiastic relationship through therapy, can create a safe place to explore life struggles, understand difficult issues, develop new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations to lead a more successful life. I believe that within a safe, trust-filled therapeutic relationship, teens and families can decide upon and implement the changes necessary to improve their lives. My goal is for you to feel understood, validated, and free of judgement. If you are ready for a wonderful change in your life and would like some support, lets work together.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Alissa Zoucha. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
We were looking for a talk therapist that was available soon. Our daughters 2 sessions with Alissa were very beneficial and we would recommend her to others. Thank you.
She's been awesome at listening and calling out prior behaviors and thoughts that have resulting in sometimes unwanted consequences. She provides homework based upon our conversations which has been really beneficial.
An amazing woman.
Alissa is experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She has really helped validate and process my emotions after leaving a 10 year abusive relationship. She has also given me great advice about how to support my 2 kids during this difficult transition. Highly recommended!
Alissa is an extremely helpful person that has opened my mind to some different points of view on issues that I’m dealing with. She has helped me navigate some family issues and seen these issues through a different lens.
Alissa has been wonderful. She listens to me but also offers valuable information or tools for me to bring into my life. She makes me feel accepted and heard and also offers accountability for the changes I’m trying to make.
With the few sessions that I've had with Alissa, I've been able to be more confident and sure with my choices and I look forward to a more positive future.
I feel so lucky to have been paired with Alissa as my therapist on teen counseling. From our first session I felt so comfortable with her, almost like I was talking to a friend. She has worked to reframe and challenge my thinking, provide insight as we delve into my concerns, and provides a non-judgemental and supportive space.
10/10 Great therapist
She is truly one of a kind.
We clicked right away and It made it so much easier to open up and start working on things
Alissa is very personable so it’s easy to speak with her and she is professional enough to keep me on track. For me, these two things are very important in working through what I started therapy for.
Alissa is very understanding, compassionate, and experienced. I have never had a good time with therapy, actively avoiding it most times. Alissa has made my experience great, and I actively look forward to being able to talk to her. I feel confident with recommending her to anyone.
Kind and understanding. She has seen life and speaks from experience and well as training.
I have only just begun therapy with Alissa but I already feel comfortable and hopeful for the work that we will be doing together. I appreciate her support and understanding so far.
Alissa is great! I love working with her she had provided me with lots of ways to be better and I have noticed a changed in my mental health and overall wellbeing. I’m happier and haven't been this happy for this long in awhile.
She has been great to work with - helping me to dig deep and understand myself.
Very understanding, listens to your needs and offer the support that’ll help you.
Very responsive and provides actionable steps to move you in the right direction. Very good experience.
Alissa has been wonderful for our time together. She is encouraging and kind
I have only had one conversation ad it stands now, however she seems very respectful and polite. She also take how I feel into consideration and allows me to talk
Alissa is friendly, understand and approachable. She was very inviting and understanding of the fact this is my first run at therapy and she has taken me through it in a friendly manner. She has great techniques to share with me and I feel like she talks to me like a real person and treat me like one too.
Great experience with Alissa. Attentive, empathetic, and overall Alissa helped so much!
A very kind and helpful therapist who listens to concerns and takes them seriously
Very down to earth, very much just another human being with human being struggles and victories. Her questions and suggestions are gentle and to the point, but there is room for casual chat too, keeping it loosely related to the topic. After three sessions, I can conclude that Alissa is a joy to have as a counsellor.
Alissa really helped me navigate a difficult time in my life. She has a patient, caring, no-nonsense approach. She was flexible in battling challenging time zones . I'd really recommend her.
Alissa was such a great help during our sessions. She actively listened to my situation and always offered support while reminding me how valid and normal it was. She gave me great tools to deal with my stress and anxiety both during the sessions and as work between appointments. Thanks to her I am better equipped to deal whatever issue arises and have set healthy boundaries for myself. I'm very thankful!
Alissa has been a great help throughout this time in my life. I'm going through a lot of life changes and she helps to guide me through them. I always feel relieved after talking to her. She is also totally non-judgemental, compassionate and friendly - I feel like I can talk to her about anything. Thanks, Alissa, for being amazing!
Alissa is very kind, welcoming, and respectful. She is non-judgmental and helpful working through all types of issues.
Extremely attentive and kind! I just began working with Alissa and she is by far the best fit for someone who needs a compassionate, but not overly intense or threatening therapist. Alissa feels like someone you can open up to without fear of pity or judgement.
