Anxiety Therapy for Women in PA
modern, holistic, and somatic psychotherapy with a therapist who gets it.
You’re ready to feel different
You've been doing the work. You can name your triggers, your patterns, and your go-to coping skills.
But your body still feels tense. Your stomach is uneasy. Your mind doesn’t shut off. Your energy is drained. And you often feel disconnected in your closest relationships.
You’re not doing anything wrong.
The ‘work’ has simply stalled at the mind, and the rest of you never got included.
I don't focus on coping skills or reframing your thoughts. That approach to managing anxiety never worked for me, so I had to find another way.
What we do instead is go underneath the anxiety — into your nervous system, your emotional world, and the self-protection patterns your body developed a long time ago.
Your symptoms of anxiety are just that, symptoms. And instead of offering you quick tips and advice for those symptoms.. we’re going to address their root causes at the body-level so that the way you feel in your daily life fundamentally changes.
More joyous, present & alive.
About Root Wellness
A Modern & Holistic Approach to Therapy
Hi, I’m Alissa—Licensed Psychotherapist, Yoga Teacher, & Founder of Root Wellness, LLC
I spent most of my life trying to think my way out of anxiety. It wasn’t until I learned how to move it through my body that things began to change.
One thing I am certain of is that our repressed emotions and unresolved experiences/stressors live in our muscles, our fascia, and our energetic bodies.
When we spend therapy sessions only talking and cognitively processing, so much of that repressed stuff stays stuck.
If you’re here, you’re probably already pretty self-aware.
You don’t really need more insights. You need integration.
We integrate by involving the body in the work. In our sessions together, you can expect some gentle movement and breath work that shifts your stuck emotions, regulates your nervous system, and helps all your insights land in your body so you actually feel different.
This holistic combination of somatics and nervous system awareness WITH cognitive insight is what really moves the needle and helps you release chronic anxiety for good.
