Alyssa Teitsma, LPC

From chaos to calm-I help overwhelmed families find their way back to connection, calm, and confidence; supporting parents as they raise emotionally healthy, resilient kids and teens.

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is passionate about supporting parents, children, and teens through the ups and downs of anxiety, emotional regulation, and everyday family life. I believe that big emotions aren’t problems to “fix,” but signals that deserve understanding, support, and skill-building. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—helping clients feel safe, heard, and empowered.

Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when your child is struggling and you’re not sure how to help. You don’t have to figure it out alone. When working with parents, I provide guidance and tools to strengthen connection, reduce stress, and support healthy family dynamics. I work alongside parents to better understand what’s behind their child’s behavior and to build compassionate, effective strategies that help parents feel confident, calm, and in control at home.

I strive to create a space where growth feels possible, change feels manageable, and no one feels alone in the process. With children and teens, I focus on building coping skills, confidence, and emotional awareness so they can better understand themselves and their world.

If you’re looking for a therapist who is supportive, down-to-earth, and focused on real-life strategies that work, I would be honored to walk alongside you and your family.
