Licensed Marriage and family therapist
Alisha Bachman
I collaborate with clients who are learning to express themselves honestly, while navigating through relational concerns. Clients report of feeling withdrawn or overly focus with their partner(s). When we work together, clients can learn new skills and tools in order to advocate for their personal needs in their relationship(s) and collaborate with their partner(s) on creating the relationship that they want together.
I studied Systems Theories in my master’s program at Antioch University, where I’m now earning my PhD. It’s the lens I bring to every session so couples and individuals can feel comfortable sharing their stories. I’d like my office to be a space of respect for culture, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, or any other differences in perspective my clients might bring to the table.
