Alisha Persaud

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience in a variety of settings. Most of my career has centered around working with people who have experienced difficult and life-changing events, but I have experience helping others with a variety of issues and concerns. I am caring, empathetic, genuine, and non-judgmental…mental health is my passion! My approach is client-centered and I believe in connecting with others where they are in life to work together to achieve your goals. My hope is to help others to live a life that is authentic and meaningful. I will see the best in you and to help you to do the same. I received my bachelor’s degree from Missouri State University, and obtained my Masters degree at Avila University. I have worked in a variety of settings, primarily with kids and adolescents. I spent several years in preschools, helping kids with trauma and with the parents and teachers that care for them. I truly enjoyed helping children and seeing the word through their eyes. Much of my time recently has focused on helping adults with difficult life transitions, depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, LGBTQ issues, grief, and substance use disorders. My passion has always been helping others to see the best version of themselves and I believe in working with people where they are at without judgement or expectations. It takes courage to allow others into your life, and I look forward to connecting with you!
