Mental Health & Wellness

A sanctuary for the 'strong' to be soft, and for your true essence to finally be seen.

Essence of You is for individuals and couples who are ready to trade the weight of societal pressure for true authenticity and peace. From stress and anxiety to major life transitions, my practice provides a safe space for those navigating life’s challenges. While all are welcomed, I offer specialized expertise in supporting BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those navigating the unique dynamics of polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships. Whether you are seeking traditional support or navigating complex identities, my approach is designed to honor your essence, strengthen your bonds, and elevate your mental and emotional wellbeing. This is your safe space to lay down the armor, speak your unfiltered truth, and explore your complexities without the weight of outside expectations or social critiques.

Essence of You

Our Therapist

Dr. Alisha Diggs, LPC-S

"Healing isn't just about fixing what’s broken; it’s about reclaiming your right to peace."

About Us

Dr. Alisha Diggs, LPC-S

Welcome to a space designed for your rest, your healing, and your highest self. After 15 years of experience, while being a wife, mother, and a higher ed therapist and educator, I know how first hand how stress can show up in our body, emotions, reactions, and thoughts. That's why I believe therapy should feel less like a clinical appointment and more like the long-awaited exhale you’ve been denying yourself. For the individuals navigating the weight of "doing it all," I offer a soft place to land for when things get heavy. For couples who feel worlds apart, I will help you strip away the outside distractions to find the understanding, intimacy, and closeness you've been missing. We don't just solve problems here; we curate the life and love you deserve in a celebratory and affirming way, where your identity is honored, not just "included".

Essence of You

Our Mission

A Safe, Inclusive & Empowering Environment

Therapy is a sacred space where the "strong" persona can finally rest and the mask can come off. My approach blends traditional insight with wellness practices that honor your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We’ll look back at the stories that shaped you, and learn how they influence your present. By the end of our work together, you will have moved from just "getting through the day" to living with a deep sense of self-awareness, resilience, authenticity, and the quiet confidence of someone who is finally at home in their own skin.
