About the Therapist

Alyssa Eichhorn, MA, LPCC-S

I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. Originally from Indiana, I developed a deep interest in psychology and advocacy, earning my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology along with a Women’s Studies certificate from Purdue University. My journey led me to Xavier University, where I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling in 2016, further strengthening my commitment to providing client-centered, evidence-based care.

With years of experience working across various settings—including private practice, partial hospitalization programs, community mental health, school-based programs, and emergency departments—I have had the privilege of supporting individuals of all ages. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and DBT-C for children, trauma-focused interventions, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based modalities. My therapeutic approach is rooted in collaboration, mindfulness, and empowerment, helping clients develop the skills needed to foster emotional well-being and lasting change.

Beyond my professional work, I am an animal lover and share my home with my beloved pets: Eevee, my 13-year-old rat terrier; Raven and Ellie, my two black cats; and Moonstone, my betta fish. In my free time, I enjoy live music, traveling, tattoos, HIIT workouts, video games, and graphic novels. I’m passionate about social justice and advocacy, and I find peace in mindfulness, nature, camping, and crafting. I believe in bringing authenticity, creativity, and balance into all aspects of life—including therapy.

I look forward to being part of your journey toward healing, empowerment, and building a life that feels more worth living!
