Meet Alisson Burda, LCSW (she/hers)

I’m passionate about supporting children—ranging from infants to teens—and their caregivers on their mental health journeys.

I have 20 years of experience in clinical social work, and I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including traditional office therapy, community programs, school-based interventions, and as an in-home family therapist. I also love working with college students, parents, and individual adults as they navigate their own unique challenges.

My approach to therapy is strengths-based, meaning I focus on helping you tap into the inner resources you already have. I place a lot of importance on the parent-child relationship, as I believe it plays a key role in achieving lasting therapeutic outcomes. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Social Welfare and Women’s Studies and a Master of Science in Social Work from UW-Madison. I’ve also completed advanced clinical training in approaches such as Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Family Therapy.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, diving into artistic projects, and playing with my dog, Phyllis.
