Hello. I am Alissa Dillon. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New Hampshire. I am licensed to treat patients in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine. I have over twenty years of experience as a therapist and enjoy working with patients who allow me to learn of their traumatic memories, and allow me to help reprocess them, to begin healing.
I enjoy getting to know my patients during the first session. My goal is not to jump right into distressing memories, unless that is what you, the patient, wants.
I am honest and can be direct for some patients who may need a little 'push' to work through their issues or history. I am also empathic and understand every person processes grief and trauma differently.
I treat adults with PTSD/Grief symptoms are having difficulty with sadness, nightmares or flashbacks. Sometimes a loss is so devastating or traumatic. EMDR is a quick and effective treatment for trauma, often within a few sessions. I also specialize in treating Veterans and First Responders who could benefit from trauma treatment, due to the difficult memories or events that continue to cause disruption to daily functioning.
EMDR
I am certified in EMDR treatment which helps alleviate trauma from memories and events that are hard to forget. I use EMDR both in person and on telehealth sessions.
