Alyssa Nohar

Alyssa works with teens and young adults who are carrying a lot—from the quiet heaviness of anxiety and depression to the harder moments that come with self-harm or big, hard-to-name emotions. Her goal is simple: to help you feel less alone with what you’re going through, and more equipped to move through it.

She draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy—practical, evidence-based tools for making sense of intense emotions and building skills for the days that feel like too much.

Her lived experience with depression and anxiety gives her a deeper understanding of what it means to manage mental health struggles and cope with feelings of inadequacy as well as societal stigma.

A Note for Parents & Caregivers

If you’re booking on behalf of your teen: therapy tends to work best when it doesn’t feel like one more thing being done to them. Sessions are collaborative and confidential, and Alyssa is always happy to answer your questions before you book.

About Alyssa

As a second-generation South Asian immigrant, she brings a culturally attuned, non-judgmental lens to her work, alongside her own lived experience with anxiety and depression. She believes therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, so together, you’ll build a space that’s honest, collaborative, and shaped around what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
