Alyssa DiGiovanna, RMHCI, NCC, is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern at Juno Counseling & Wellness in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, practicing under supervision. She specializes in trauma, anxiety, and relationship concerns, including support for veterans, military members, and first responders.
I am passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with individuals who may feel as though they have lost parts of themselves within relationships, major life transitions, or the many roles and expectations they have taken on over time. You may find yourself wondering who you are outside of being a partner, parent, caregiver, or the person others depend on. Therapy can be a space to slow down, better understand yourself, and begin rediscovering what you want, need, and value.
I have a particular interest in supporting women navigating relationship challenges, motherhood, major life transitions, chronic illness, and the lasting effects of trauma. This includes women who are currently in or have left abusive relationships and are working to rebuild their sense of self, safety, confidence, and trust. I also work with individuals adjusting to chronic illness and the ways changes in health can impact identity, independence, relationships, and the life you once envisioned. Together, we can process these experiences while helping you reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater confidence and self-understanding.
My approach emphasizes growth, wellness, and empowerment. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches while recognizing that therapy should be individualized to you and your experiences. I strive to create a warm, grounded, and non-judgmental space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. My goal is not to tell you who you should be, but to help you better understand yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and feel more confident in the person you are becoming.
I also have a special interest in working with first responders, military service members, veterans, and their spouses and families. The demands of these roles can extend far beyond the individual, affecting relationships, family dynamics, identity, and the transition between high-stress environments and everyday life. I offer a space to process trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions while honoring the resilience, experiences, and unique dynamics of military and first-responder communities.Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy going for walks, paddleboarding, spending time with my dogs, and being with family and friends.
