Hello! My name is Alysse Shropshire. I founded my practice as a result of my personal journey and professional commitment to healing. I grew up in a turbulent and dysfunctional environment that all too often did not feel safe. I lived with anxious and perfectionist ideas that if I could just be perfect then nothing bad could happen to me. My formative years were spent walking on eggshells and being broken down until I believed that I was not good enough. ​In recent years, as I've navigated the challenges of infertility, I have come to recognize the profound emotional and psychological toll of reproductive trauma. The struggle of trying to balance ambiguous grief with maintaining hope for the future. The anxiety that comes with having complete lack of control. Unfortunately, I am not alone and mine is not a unique story. I started this practice with the intention to provide clients with access to all of the elements of therapy that have made such a difference to me in my own life. The only constant in life is change and change can be what you make of it! My personal testimony is that while healing can be long and arduous, it is well worth the effort to change your life from surviving to thriving.
