Alyson Rasmussen, a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist with credentials of MS and LMFT, specializes in supporting teens and adults as they navigate the complexities of their relationships. She understands that many individuals struggle to communicate their feelings authentically or establish and maintain healthy boundaries in their relationships, whether they be with colleagues, partners, friends, or children. Alyson believes that meaningful relationships are essential to one's mental health and overall wellbeing and emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and relationship focus. Her personal philosophy of change centers on the belief that everyone can facilitate significant transformations in their lives.

Whether she is working with individuals, couples, or families, Alyson is committed to understanding each person’s unique life story, fostering trust, and addressing their specific needs. Additionally, her philosophy acknowledges systems of oppression and trauma, particularly the challenges faced by LGBTQIA and BIPOC communities. In every session, Alyson prioritizes creating an open and safe space, which she views as crucial to the healing process.
