Bio

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a doctorate degree in clinical psychology, I strive to assist those studying for licensure. It is my firm belief while in school we never truly learn how to study for and take licensing exams, and my goal is to help you pass!

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a doctorate degree in clinical psychology, I strive to assist those studying for licensure. It is my firm belief while in school we never truly learn how to study for and take licensing exams, and my goal is to help you pass!

I currently work for the LA County Department of Public Health, Substance Abuse Prevention and Control Unit. One of my main roles is in training, workforce development and utilization management for patients seeking substance use disorder services in Los Angeles County. Outside of this I work with individuals studying for psychologist licensing exams (specially the EPPP).
Prior to my work with the County, I was the Executive Director of a drug treatment facility for 6 years with a focus on licensing/accreditation, human resources, clinical supervision, and staff development.

I have more than 14 years of clinical experience related to children, adolescents, and families. I specialize in families with disabilities, specifically the non-disabled sibling. as well as 8 years of experience with drug and alcohol treatment and recovery.

Volunteer Work-
-I conduct Clinical Psychological Evaluations for immigrants and asylum seekers working pro bono with non-profit law firms.
-More than six years of volunteer work in reading skills, comprehension, and study skills with children and adolescents. I continue to volunteer in 6th grade elementary school classrooms. I have also worked extensively with ESL students of all ages.

When I work with a student my first step is to assess their needs and help them create viable goals. I believe in adapting my tutoring approach depending on the student's learning style. My philosophy is helping the student understand their own learning process so that they may use that understanding to accomplish their goals.

Please feel free to contact me with any further questions. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!

Effective test taking strategies and study patterns that produce results.

Dr. Alyssa has made me aware of my study habit deficits. I find a mental map in her tutorial style because she is not afraid, to be honest, as she shines a light on WHAT IS WRONG. She has been a Solution Driven tutor who has helped me to understand MYSELF in the framework of successful study patterns and how to prioritize quality over quantity. She's helped me learn there is a wrong path to studying and a right path to studying. She has restructured my EPPP thinking in a totally different way.

Quality, knowledgeable, and helpful Tutor

Alyssa is great at helping to identify any barriers to achievement. Additionally, she is a licensed clinical psychologist so content is very familiar allowing her to provide real life/relatable examples. I have greatly appreciated her flexibility and support during my studying process. Alyssa is warm, caring, and knowledgeable and I do recommend for your tutoring needs.

Marsha, 29 lessons with Alyssa

Thorough and dedicated

Alyssa enters every tutoring session well organized, but can also be flexible and able to have a discussion on study techniques. Her support and empathy is a positive asset and I believe helped with reaching my academic goals.

Great tutor!!

Alyssa was very supportive on this process of taking the EPPP. She was attentive to my needs and was able to recognize my strengths and weaknesses. She is very knowledgeable about the test and I trust that she can help me pass!

Klarissa, 17 lessons with Alyssa

Great telephone lesson!

I enjoyed speaking with Alyssa over the phone about my psychology admissions letter for graduate school. She sussed out the unique message I was working to articulate. I am sending her my essay today for proof-reading and editing; it is so helpful to have a tutor like Alyssa provide such useful insights!
