Alyssa Horton-Bosman, LMSW-C
My name is Alyssa and I'm one of the owners and clinicians at Valor Mental Health. I've been a psychotherapist since 2018 and have enjoyed working both in private practice and in a corrections environment.
​
As a veteran, daughter of two veterans, and family of firefighters and law enforcement officers, I have a deep love for and commitment to providing support to first responders, veterans, and their families.
​
Clinically, I specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma. I am EMDR-trained. I also have extensive experience working with people diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder.
I would love to set up a consultation call to make sure you feel that we would be a good fit!
Goal Areas
Here are just some of the goal areas clients come to me for help with.
Depression
Sometimes depression feels like sadness. Other times, it feels like nothing. Not caring about anything, not wanting to do anything, just...nothing. You don't have to accept feeling this way. I can work with you through these feelings...or lack of feelings.
Anxiety
Anxiety can be debilitating. That tightness or heaviness in your chest. All the worry thoughts and overthinking. Sure, it prevents us from doing the things we want to do. It's also just downright exhausting. Let's work together to address the worries and stop them from stopping you.
Trauma
One of life's greatest injustices is that something can happen to us, completely against our will, and it's on us to work hard to keep it from continuing to affect us. I want to support you through that hard work. Because you don't have to do it alone.
Relationships
Close relationships can be such a gift. But they're also hard work. Not all of us had healthy relationships modeled for us. And even if we did, that doesn't mean we automatically know what to do when challenges arise.
Let's navigate those together. All on the same team.
Grief & Loss
Death, breakups, dreams slipping away. All of these can bring up such complex, painful emotions. And while there's no "right" way to grieve, sometimes we don't know how to move forward. I'm honored to sit in this pain with you while we process it and find the right path forward for you.
Motivation
Look. Sometimes we know exactly what we want, we can plan it out, and then we just...don't follow through. What's that about?
I can help you dig deep, set up a plan, and move toward your short- and long-term goals. I'll hold you accountable and cheer you on every step of the way.
