Alisa Kamis-Brinda, LCSW, LCADC
(she/her)
You’ve been struggling for a long time and you are tired of feeling this way. You want to feel better but don’t feel hopeful that anything will help. I understand what that feels like and I can help. Stress leads to feelings of anxiety and overwhelm and sometimes, anger, too. I hear you-you’re ready for some peace and serenity. How do I know? Because I’ve been there. As a therapist in Philadelphia and South Jersey for 20 years, I’ve helped many people learn how to cope with the stress that comes from work, relationships, and parenting. As a professional, parent, wife, daughter, sister, and friend, I’ve had to find ways to manage this stress, as well.
Hi! My name is Alisa Kamis-Brinda. I provide therapy to adults struggling with anxiety and stress management, anger management, postpartum anxiety and depression, and addictions. I help you learn how to slow down anxious and angry thoughts so that you can be in the present moment, relax and enjoy life. In addition to compassionate listening and providing feedback, I teach proven techniques so that you can live a life that feels more meaningful. I am determined to help you learn new ways of relating to uncomfortable thoughts and feelings so that they don’t control your life.
