Alessia Doss, LICSW

As a LICSW based in Western Massachusetts, I specialize in therapy for emerging adults, college students, and young professionals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by pressure, expectations, perfectionism, or uncertainty about who they are and where they’re headed. I work with individuals who may appear high functioning on the outside while internally struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, or difficulty balancing relationships, academics, work, and personal wellbeing. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Using psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and expressive therapies, I help clients build self-awareness, emotional resilience, coping skills, accountability, and confidence. Together, we explore how relationships, family dynamics, identity, and current life stressors impact the way you move through the world. Whether you’re navigating college stress, career pressure, family conflict, relationship challenges, or major life changes, therapy can provide a space to slow down, feel supported, and create meaningful change. I offer a calm and accepting environment where you can better understand yourself, strengthen your coping tools, and move toward greater balance and emotional wellness.
