Dr. Alisha Diggs, LPC-S

Welcome to a space where your journey toward a brighter tomorrow begins! With over 12 years of experience, counseling, for me, is more than just problem-solving; it embodies understanding, trust, and growth. We will work together to navigate challenges and craft a vision for the life you deserve. In my therapy space, there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. I'll listen, support, and guide you with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am also inclusive and celebratory, striving to empower the LGBTQIA+ community through affirming therapy services. I'm here as your dedicated ally. Together, let's unlock your potential for growth, healing, and joy!
