Purple Pandas - Meet the Owner
Alyssa Chapman, MEd
My first career was a public school educator. I wanted my classroom to be an inclusive and positive learning environment and began learning trauma-informed strategies. I gained a better understanding of how I could support my students. I transitioned to leadership, working closely with our school social worker and psychologist. Together, we provided emotional, mental, and social supports for staff and students through student small groups, staff professional development, and classroom lessons.
To continue my health and wellness journey, I started a new role which included developing and running programs that promoted physical, emotional, mental, financial, environmental, and social well-being. Leading wellness programs impacting over 8,000 employees led me to create Purple Pandas. I developed a team of experienced assistants to support those working in the mental health field. We take care of your administrative burden so your time is better spent on providing quality care and growing your practice.
I truly want people to find therapists that help them thrive. I also want mental health professionals to be paid well for their knowledge and expertise to help their clients feel peace and joy. Helping with admin tasks is my way of contributing to this goal. I’d love to learn more about your modalities and ideal client, send a message in my contact form for a free consult call.
Working with Alyssa has been such a positive experience. She played a crucial role in helping me start my business and has truly become the brain of the operation. She is incredibly organized, proactive, and makes managing my administrative tasks feel seamless. Her attention to detail and ability to anticipate needs have allowed me to focus fully on my clients and practice goals. I cannot recommend her services highly enough!
