Alisa Popova, MA, LMHCA, LMT, RYT
Psychotherapist, Massage Therapist, Reiki healer (Level III/Master), Yoga Teacher, Embodiment Coach
Alisa Popova (she/they) is a multi-faceted healer, and seeker of mysteries, dedicated to relieving suffering for all beings. Alisa’s goal with all her clients is to create a compassionate and collaborative relationship where honest self-reflection and self-discovery can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life. As a psychotherapist Alisa works from a whole-person, relational approach, integrating mindfulness, somatic, cognitive, expressive arts and attachment theories, as well as parts work. She works with adults and adolescents 13 and over, who struggle with body image and identity issues, social fears, anxiety and overwhelm, dissociation and trauma, self-expression and emotional regulation, among other challenges.
As a massage therapist Alisa brings a trauma-informed understanding to the work of healing through touch, aiming to create real shifts in the body’s structure while soothing the nervous system. A lot of self-discovery can happen just at the level of the body! This self-discovery and increased body awareness can also happen through the modality of movement, including yoga, and other embodiment practices. And for those who are called towards healing on an energetic level, Alisa is also honored to offer Reiki.
Alisa has practiced the art of massage therapy for over ten years, Reiki energy healing for five years, and is a person-centered psychotherapist of two years practicing under a LMHCA license. Alisa is a lifelong mover, dancing since they can remember, practicing Chinese martial arts for the last 5 years, practicing yoga for about 15 years (and teaching it on-and-off for 10), and practicing meditation (also on-and-off, hehe - it’s hard!) for about 10 years. Some of Alisa’s favorite things are clouds, tree bark, moss and feeding crows.
