Hi, I’m Alessandra Shaaban, M.S., LPC, NCC, NCSC. I work with adolescents, teens, and adults who feel overwhelmed, stressed, stuck, or just not like themselves. Whether you’re facing pressure at school, figuring out your next chapter, or juggling work and relationships, I’m here to help. My years as a school counselor and counseling program leader give me a real understanding of the pressures of growing up and the stress that follows into adulthood. I often help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, perfectionism, burnout, relationships, self-esteem, identity, and life transitions, as well as trauma, grief, family conflict, self-harm, and substance use.

Something brought you here today. With 25 years working alongside people in community mental health settings, I have learned that deciding to start therapy takes

real courage. My work begins where you are, not where someone thinks you should be. Whether you are carrying anxiety, grief, relationship strain, the weight of life transitions, or simply wondering if things could feel different, I want to hear your whole story before we figure out the path forward. Everyone has their own, and we will find yours together.

Therapist

I believe that everyone deserves to have a therapist. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to take it alone. I work with teens (late adolescence) through adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and clarity, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and begin creating meaningful change. In addition to individual therapy, I offer couples and family therapy to help improve communication, strengthen relationships, and work through difficult dynamics.

I am here to help you navigate through life's happenings, and I would love to be that person for you.
