About Alisa Sawyer

Alisa Sawyer is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with more than seven years of counseling experience. She earned her Master’s degree from the University at Albany and has worked across a range of mental health settings, developing a broad foundation in clinical care.

She brings extensive experience addressing depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and relationship challenges. Rather than following a single method, her work is integrative and draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Transpersonal Therapy, and Positive Psychology, while remaining rooted in a client-centered approach. Sessions are tailored collaboratively so the strategies and skills used fit each person’s unique goals and circumstances.

Beyond formal training, she emphasizes being present and attuned to each person she works with. Alisa often uses the image of a plant reaching toward light to describe human resilience - even in difficult times people seek growth and well-being. She aims to act as a window that helps people let the light in and connect with their own capacity to thrive.
