Meet the Med Providers: Alisa

I’m fascinated by the body’s relation to the human experience, and what can be done to make each individual’s experience the best it can be. 

Alisa

Sonder’s growing! And, in the process, we’ve welcomed some exceptional new medication providers to our team.

To celebrate, we’re kicking off a brand new blog series to introduce you to the humans behind the medication management services we offer.

This week, we’re talking with our psychiatric administrative assistant, Alisa:

Thanks for taking the time to chat with us, Alisa! What do you love most about your role at Sonder?

Talking with patients and getting to know them throughout their journey is my favorite part of my role.

What first brought you to this work? What keeps you going?

I’m fascinated by the body’s relation to the human experience, and what can be done to make each individual’s experience the best it can be.

What’s one misconception or misunderstanding you see about emotional wellness?

From an outside perspective, I believe one myth people may have is that solutions come easy.

Solutions are found with a combination of emotional and physical wellbeing. It’s unconditionally rewarding once that balance has been identified.

As providers, it’s essential that we maintain our own emotional wellness practices. What does self-care look like for you these days?

Making sure I get enough sleep and eat the right foods– doing the basics really do go a long way!

I also make sure to spend time off technology on a regular basis and go for walks at parks throughout the Cities.

You’re one of the first points of contact for many Sonder patients. What’s something they might be surprised to learn about you?

I love learning about mythology, true crime, and the mind-body relationship.

And when you’re not working hard at Sonder, what are you most likely up to?

Traveling, reading, writing, listening to podcasts, or seeing movies at the theater.

Thanks, Alisa! We’re grateful to have you on the team.
