Hi, I’m Alisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of The Hour She Keeps, a virtual psychotherapy practice created with women in mind.

For more than six years, I’ve worked in mental health and substance use treatment with adults, adolescents, couples, and families navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, major life transitions, and the complicated seasons that don’t always look complicated from the outside. I have a particular heart for women who are used to keeping it together. The career is moving. The appointments are booked. Everyone can count on you. Maybe you’re becoming a mother, finding yourself again after motherhood, navigating a relationship, or simply realizing that the woman underneath everything she does deserves some attention too. I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University with a focus in mental health and addictions. With me, you don’t have to make the story prettier before you tell it. Come as you are. We’ll figure out the rest together.
