About Alyssa
My name is Alyssa Autterson and I'm a relational, trauma-informed therapist working with adults, couples, and teenagers across Texas and California. Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly a decade in the entertainment industry, so I deeply understand the pressure to perform, achieve, and "keep it all together" on the outside, while quietly navigating internal challenges. My passion is to work with those navigating anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, relationship stress, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a compassionate and grounded space for you to slow down and be your authentic self, feel genuinely seen, and reconnect with core values.
My Approach
My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and rooted in both evidence-based practice and nervous system healing. I integrate EMDR, CBT, DBT, IFS-informed work, attachment theory, and somatic work to help my clients address patterns at the root, not simply manage symptoms. I am a minority and LGBTQIA+-affirming clinician. I truly believe you are the expert in your own life and it is my role to offer perspective and structure. I'll tailor each session to reflect your unique needs and goals. Together, we'll work towards greater clarity, emotional regulation, and self-trust. Therapy with me is both practical and reflective as we will build foundational tools while also exploring ways to help you feel more aligned.
