Meet your Therapists
Carissa Pope, ASW
Maybe you’re the person who seems fine on the outside, but your mind never really shuts off. You overthink conversations, put pressure on yourself to get everything right, feel overwhelmed by emotions you don’t always understand, or find yourself stuck in the same patterns even when you know they aren’t working for you. Maybe something from your past is still affecting you, or you’re going through a season of life where you simply don’t feel like yourself. You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.
I enjoy working with teens and young adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, family stress, emotional overwhelm, and the pressure that can come with school, college, work, and figuring out what adulthood is supposed to look like. My goal is to create a space where you can talk about what’s actually going on without worrying about being judged, dismissed, or told how you should feel.
My approach is supportive, collaborative, and practical. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Together, we can work on managing overwhelming emotions, quieting anxious thoughts, building healthier coping skills, setting boundaries, and feeling more confident in yourself and your decisions.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or like someone is trying to “fix” you. Sometimes it starts with having a space that is completely yours—a place to feel understood, sort through the messy parts of life, and learn how to handle them differently. If you’re ready to understand yourself better and make meaningful changes in your life, I’d be honored to support you.
Brigetta Alexander (Shay), ASW
Hi, I’m Brigetta Alexander an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW #130788)passionate about supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges with compassion and empathy, cultural awareness, and a trauma-informed approach. I bring experience from a variety of clinical settings, including outpatient mental health, foster care, transitional housing, community-based programs, and corrections. I have provided services to children, teens, and adults navigating complex emotional, social, and systemic barriers.
My practice is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I have supported clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and family challenges. I’ve also worked alongside those involved in the foster care and justice systems, offering therapeutic support to help them navigate complex circumstances and build toward stability and healing.
Whether helping clients work through anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, or life transitions, I understand that healing looks different for everyone, and I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered, regardless of where they are in their journey. Healing happens in relationships and in environments that foster trust and dignity.
Outside of my clinical work, I believe in the power of balance and self-care. You’ll often find me at the gym, watching movies, cheering on my favorite sports teams, or spending quality time with my family. I believe that taking care of ourselves, mind, body, and soul, is essential not just for therapists but for everyone.
Kimberly Robertson, ASW
Hello, my name is Kimberly Robertson (ASW #132714), you might look like you’re doing okay on the outside, while on the inside you’re overthinking everything. Maybe you’re dealing with anxiety, pressure from school or family, friendship or relationship stress, low self-esteem, or trying to figure out who you are and what you actually want. You don’t have to wait until things feel “bad enough” to ask for support. Therapy can be a place where you can be yourself, talk openly, and work through the things that feel hard to explain to everyone else.
I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, stress, self-esteem, relationships, family dynamics, identity, and major life transitions. Whether you’re trying to survive high school, adjusting to college or adulthood, struggling with expectations from others, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, build confidence, and develop tools that actually feel useful in your everyday life.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I use trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches while helping clients build emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, boundaries, and stronger relationships. Therapy with me isn’t about being judged or told what you “should” do—it’s about having someone in your corner while you figure out what works for you.
I am also bilingual in English and Spanish and value creating a space where clients from different backgrounds, cultures, and family experiences feel understood and respected. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are and help you navigate what comes next, I’d be honored to support you.
