Welcome to Wachusett Therapy Group

Alyssa graduated from Assumption University's Master's Program in Counseling Psychology in 2015 and has a background working in community mental health and school-based settings. She works with adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of concerns, with a particular interest in helping clients navigate OCD and anxiety.

Her approach to therapy is collaborative, genuine, and evidence-based. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness-based approaches, tailoring treatment to each client's individual needs and goals.

Alyssa believes therapy works best when clients feel safe enough to show up as themselves. She strives to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space and brings her own personality into the room. Clients can expect warmth, and when appropriate, a little humor. Therapy can involve difficult and vulnerable conversations, but that doesn't mean every moment has to feel heavy.

Above all, Alyssa wants clients to feel that they don't have to perform or have the "right" thing to say in therapy. Clients are welcome to come as they are, and they'll figure out the rest together.

  Outside of work, you can find Alyssa spending time with her two dogs, crafting, or watching horror movies (sometimes all at once!)

 Brittany earned her master’s degree from Northeastern University in 2021 and has worked in both EAP and outpatient settings. She works with adults facing a range of life experiences, challenges, and transitions, with a particular interest in supporting clients who have experienced trauma and those navigating perinatal concerns.

Her approach is client-centered and relational, with an emphasis on building a genuine, collaborative therapeutic relationship. She draws from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while also incorporating somatic strategies to help clients develop greater awareness of the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. As a trauma-informed therapist, Brittany strives to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and empowering.

Outside of the therapy room, she is a mom to three young children, so she knows firsthand that life can be both wonderfully full and beautifully messy. Brittany loves spending her free time gathered around a campfire, getting lost in a good book, and exploring new and beautiful places. She especially enjoys sharing these experiences with her family and creating memories along the way.
