Meet the Therapist

Alyssa McLean, LPCC - Virtual Therapist in California

Alyssa McLean, LPCC, California Psychotherapist, Virtual and In-Person

It’s so nice to meet you!

I’ve been an independently licensed therapist since 2013, and I’m so grateful to get to do this work.

A few bits about me:

  • I wanted to be a therapist since I was 14, and I feel so honored by the trust my clients have in me and the therapeutic process.

  • In the therapy space, I approach the work holistically and client-centered, with a healthy dash of humor and connection (and astrology and Tarot, if that’s your speed).

  • I’m your friendly neighborhood bisexual who happened to come out later in life (after already being happily partnered in a relationship with a cis man).

  • My cat, Samuel, is my greatest joy, and he will inevitably make some appearances in our sessions (don’t worry, I trust his ability to keep things confidential).

  • I’m an exvangelical who has been able to find so much healing through a more witchy type of spirituality - deconstruction is hard, but it’s not impossible!

  • I love shows and movies, the sunshine, walking, music that speaks to my soul, and eating delicious food.

  • I moved from Chicago to Los Angeles in 2018, and it took me about 4.5 years to finally find a community here. (Making friends as an adult is hard!)

  • My morning ritual includes: a warm drink, journaling, pulling Tarot and/or oracle cards, and some movement.

  • I have lived experience with mental health struggles, and I find that this really has been a helpful piece of supporting others in their own mental health journeys.

Education & Clinical Background

  • I graduated from Anderson University with my bachelor’s in psychology in 2008. (And yes, this was a religious school…and it was also where I began my religious deconstruction!)

  • I then went on to Roosevelt University and got my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling in 2011.

  • I’ve had clinical experience at a LGBTQ+ community center, a community social work agency, a hospital outpatient clinic, an insurance company providing behavioral healthcare coordination, and in private practice (both in Illinois and in California).

  • I’m also a holistic nutritionist and wellness coach with a focus on embodiment.
