Hi, I’m Alyssa Phillips (she/her), a Marriage and Family Therapist-in-training based in San Diego, CA. I work with adults (18+) navigating anxiety, perfectionism, and the stress of balancing work life with personal life. When school, work, and social expectations feel relentless, I aim to help you pause your spiraling thoughts, organize them, and respond with intention.

Sessions feel grounded and collaborative. We use practical tools and mind-body strategies to support emotional regulation and self-awareness—skills you can carry into daily life. My approach affirms neurodivergent and queer clients (identities I share) and is rooted in a feminist, antiracist lens that recognizes how systems affect mental health. I prioritize creating safety, making you feel seen, and building your coping skills.

I’m a master’s student completing practicum and I provide therapy under the supervision of Christina Pina, MS, LMFT. I study at Syracuse University (expected graduation May 2026).
