About Allissa Torres
I am passionate about mental health advocacy and am currently looking for more opportunities in the field. I am extremely interested in how we can work together to create a world in which mental health is not viewed as "less than". Stigma only silences and I believe in the power of conversation, honesty, and kindness. I am interested in all forms of mental health and specifically in eating disorders, suicide, self harm, and crisis counseling.
I have a unique approach of utilizing honesty, strength identification, humor, and empathy to help others recognize their abilities. My goal is to help individuals thrive as both the hero of their own stories and the vital characters in the stories of others.
I am currently working as a nanny to allow myself a continuous schedule of various volunteer roles and finishing my B.A. in Psychology through Arizona State University. I am open to inquiries about internships, volunteer, or paid work opportunities. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or are looking to expand your network! I am always eager and willing to connect!
