I have been on my own healing journey for 40+ years and so I know personally how much courage and effort it can take to heal and grow. I also know how amazing life and relationships can get as a part of that healing process; I wish that experience for everyone.

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.

For over 33 years I have walked alongside people through some of life's most

challenging passages: grief, loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the quiet weight of

a major life change. I believe every person carries untapped strengths waiting to be

discovered. I would love to help you find yours. Let's take that first step together.

I have been Board certified Advanced Practice Nurse for 6 years. I have about 1 year experiencing specializing in generalized anxiety, major depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I have 4 years of experience as a telemedicine provider. I became a PMHNP because I take pride in helping other achieve a sense of joy in finding peace in their reality and creating healthy coping strategies.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years in the field, and I work with both adults and couples. Throughout my career, I've worked with family preservation services working with parents and children in their home, intensive outpatient (IOP) groups with a diverse population and private practice. I earned my bachelor's degree in behavioral science (with a minor in sociology) from York College of Pennsylvania, and my Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, trauma, self care and prioritizing yourself.

Please note my schedule doesn't always reflect my availability. We can discuss a schedule that works for us during our consultation.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than a decade of experience supporting adults, couples, and families through meaningful emotional and behavioral change. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care and strive to create a welcoming environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered in your healing process.

Maybe you’ve reached a point where you know something needs to change, but you’re not quite sure what that change looks like. You may be struggling with anxiety or stress, questioning yourself, going through a major life transition, or finding it difficult to feel confident and connected in your relationships. I work with adolescents and adults who want to better understand themselves, break patterns that no longer serve them, and feel more balanced and purposeful in their everyday lives. I believe mental health is about more than simply getting through difficult moments. It’s also about building the self-awareness and confidence to create a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
