Find a Therapist in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Are you having a tough time? Does life feel difficult right now and you're not sure what to do to make things better and to feel better? Would you like to better understand what is getting in the way of living the life you want? Attending therapy with Alisa Kamis-Brinda, LCSW, LCADC can help you learn how some of the things you are doing to try to feel better might actually be getting in the way of living a meaningful life. You can learn what you need to do differently to cope with challenges and enjoy life.

My patients benefit from psychotherapy with me because I show them not only how to feel better but get better. Getting better means learning how they make themselves upset and how to stop doing this even when life and people are blocking them. I teach skills for directly changing self-defeating behavior. I give patients tools for self-direction and emotional responsibility. I send my patients emails to prompt them to think differently between sessions. I help them to transfer the skills I teach from my office to their home and work environments. I teach people how to maintain and extend treatment gains so that they do not need to be in psychotherapy forever.

I am honored to work with individuals and couples from many different walks of life. My approach is rooted in respect, authenticity, and collaboration — always holding you as the expert in your own story. In our work together, I strive to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and genuinely affirming, where you can explore challenges honestly and move toward healing, growth, and deeper connection.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Therapy is designed to be a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can focus on your own needs, values, and priorities. In addition to listening, offering guidance, and responding with empathy, I partner with my clients to set goals for our work, explore what's been helpful before (and what hasn't been), provide resources to reinforce new skills, and share information to help you better understand yourself and your unique needs. Therapy clients who work with me gain practical skills that improve their lives, and they feel more empowered to solve problems.
