About Alisa
Alisa Dunker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of work in behavioral health. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addictions, and ADHD. Her manner is warm and collaborative, and she aims to help people feel heard and supported as they work through difficult moments.
She uses a trauma-informed, client-centered approach that adapts to each person's needs. Alisa integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy alongside mindfulness and holistic wellness ideas. In sessions she focuses on practical steps, coping skills, and small changes that add up over time.
Her background includes long experience with substance abuse, grief, life transitions, and supporting adoptive families and parents of children with disabilities. That history informs how she helps people manage caregiver stress, communication problems, and blended family concerns. She also addresses issues like body image, guilt and shame, and control or impulsivity struggles.
Sessions emphasize collaboration and respect. Alisa works to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can name problems, try strategies, and track progress. She encourages building resilience and applying new skills in daily life.
People considering help are invited to start by sharing what matters most to them. From there she tailors goals and methods to fit each person’s priorities and pace.
