Alyssa Mandel
Psychotherapist - LCSW, CEDS
The Mandel Center of Arizona, LLC and Alyssa Mandel, LCSW, CEDS, offer an environment that promotes psychotherapeutic healing to people in need. The focus of my philosophy is to empower clients through the therapeutic relationship. I work with clients from a non-judgmental perspective that develops a comfortable and trusting environment. By “being where the client is”, the time spent in treatment is made more productive for all involved. My philosophy is based on a “strengths-based” perspective. I have experience working with people from diverse backgrounds with numerous presenting problems. I am honest and “real” and strive to make true connections with my clients, assisting in promoting their strengths while helping them recognize and manage their challenges.
