About Emotional Support Mental Health Counseling, PLLC
My Philosophy
At Emotional Support Mental Health Counseling, PLLC, I believe that everyone has the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental health services, including online counseling and trauma counseling, are integral to overall health. Therapy can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance in mental and emotional well-being.
My Expertise
Hello, my name is Alisa Ibragimova, LMHC-D, CASAC-M. I am a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in substance use, complex trauma, and other issues. I began my career as a substance use counselor working in outpatient and residential treatment programs. I have experience in providing counseling and support for individuals who struggle with substance use, trauma, depression, anxiety, anger issues, domestic violence, childhood physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, family scapegoating, workplace bullying/mobbing, racial discrimination, grief, loss, and suicidal ideation.
My ideal client is a trauma survivor. Trauma survivors may have experienced abuse (physical, sexual, verbal), rape, incest, domestic violence, interpersonal violence, community violence, human trafficking, narcissistic abuse, family scapegoating, workplace bullying and mobbing, discrimination, and other social injustices. The reason why I like to help this population is because they are often silenced by their perpetrators, their families, some professionals, and the legal system. When survivors come forward about abuse, they are often disbelieved, invalidated, and have their stories maligned, which creates more trauma. Often, survivors are judged, blamed, shamed by others or blame themselves for the abuse. Many don’t get to have a voice. My role as a mental health counselor is to validate survivors, help them correct any negative self-image they have of themselves as a result of their past experiences, get rid of toxic shame, help them enforce healthy boundaries, and advocate for them in a system that oppresses them.
My Services
During trauma, you develop coping behaviors that help you survive but may no longer serve you and can even be detrimental to your well-being. Through our mental health services, I can assist you in unlearning those behaviors and working towards meaningful change by challenging unhelpful thinking patterns and re-evaluating negative core beliefs. In our first session of trauma counseling, we will explore the reasons you sought therapy, what you hope to achieve, and develop a plan to help you reach those goals, including options for online counseling if that suits you better.
My Approach
My approach to therapy, including my mental health services, is rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgment. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where my clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings. Through online counseling, I help individuals develop the skills and tools they need to thrive. I utilize a person-centered approach to build a therapeutic alliance with my clients, creating a safe place for healing. Whether you need trauma counseling or support for other challenges, I can help you achieve your desired changes through a solid therapeutic alliance, collaboration, active participation, and effective goal setting.
