Alisa Dickson

Alisa Dickson

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I’m Alisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of The Hour She Keeps, a virtual psychotherapy practice created with women in mind.

For more than six years, I’ve worked in mental health and substance use treatment with adults, adolescents, couples, and families navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, major life transitions, and the complicated seasons that don’t always look complicated from the outside. I have a particular heart for women who are used to keeping it together. The career is moving. The appointments are booked. Everyone can count on you. Maybe you’re becoming a mother, finding yourself again after motherhood, navigating a relationship, or simply realizing that the woman underneath everything she does deserves some attention too. I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University with a focus in mental health and addictions. With me, you don’t have to make the story prettier before you tell it. Come as you are. We’ll figure out the rest together.

Carrie Costa

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Do you often notice that you have self-critical thoughts and beliefs? Do you have past experiences or traumas that may be hindering your ability to practice self-compassion? Feelings are sometimes hard to explain and even harder to deal with. Understanding why you feel a certain way can help you regain control over yourself and how you respond. My passion is helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

Elizabeth Paterno-Culp

Therapist

Virtual • Freehold, NJ


I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twelve years of experience working across mental health, child welfare, and behavioral health settings. I currently provide therapy to children, adolescents, and families. I bring a deep commitment to trauma-informed, client-centered care to every session.

My background is a little unusual — alongside my clinical work, I've spent much of my career developing training programs and supporting mental health professionals, which means I stay closely connected to current research and evidence-based practice. I completed specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Game-Based CBT, and hold certifications in Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Assault Advocacy.

If you're a diagnosed autistic or ADHD teen, young adult, or adult, or wondering if you might be, and you're ready for a space where you can finally show up as your whole self, I'd be glad to walk alongside you. I also bring over a decade of experience supporting survivors of trauma, domestic violence, and child abuse, work that has deeply shaped how I understand safety, identity, and healing. Together, we'll make sense of a lifetime of masking, misdiagnosis, and feeling fundamentally 'off.

Shannon Cahill

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hello and thank you for taking a moment to get to know me! I’m a dedicated therapist with extensive experience across the lifespan, working with clients as young as toddlers to older adults well into their 90s. I hold a master’s in clinical counseling and mental health and am advancing my training in a PhD program in Psychology. My clinical journey spans all levels of care from inpatient settings to outpatient therapy where I have supported individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of mental health and substance use challenges. I specialize in working with complex diagnoses and am deeply committed to addressing difficult issues rather than avoiding them. I bring a holistic approach as an individual, family, and couples’ therapist, creating a compassionate and empowering space where clients feel truly seen and supported. I have worked extensively with mental health, trauma, relationship dynamics, and substance use, always striving to help clients build resilience, regain confidence, and reconnect with themselves and loved ones. My aim is to promote lasting change by helping clients challenge unhelpful patterns, strengthen emotional connections, and reclaim agency in their lives. I’m honored to walk alongside each person and family on their unique path toward healing and growth.
