Alyssa Ray, LCSW, TCYM

Hello, my name is Alyssa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Colors of Austin Counseling, PLLC.
I firmly believe that all people have intrinsic worth and value and use that in and outside of my work to build safe and trustworthy relationships with others.
I take a very relational approach to therapy and base my work off of my training in Trust Based Relational Interventions which is a trauma informed lens that provides a safe space for clients to explore what is happening within them. I maintain an open and curious perspective when working with clients that allows a judgment free space for clients to feel heard. I utilize different therapeutic techniques including somatic practices, nature-based therapy, attachment-based therapy, internal family systems, trauma conscious yoga method, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and play therapy to support individuals in their healing journey.
I draw from many somatic practices that empower clients to explore the sensations in their bodies and heal trauma that is stored not only in their memories but also in their bodies. I believe that all individuals have everything they need within them to be their most authentic, curious, and empowered selves. My role is to help my clients work through beliefs and ways of living that are no longer serving them in order to empower their most true selves. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey!
