Therapy Services
LifeSpring is proud to offer school-based therapy services provided by:
Alyson De Jesus, PhD, LMFT, and Steven Ocasio, LMFT-I, who deliver on-site mental health support to students at:
The Glenwood School (Chattanooga)
Opportunity High Program through Hamilton County Schools
Glenwood School serves students who face barriers to accessing consistent mental health care outside of the school setting.
Opportunity High is a specialized program supporting students who are over-age and short of credits in obtaining their high school diploma. This initiative provides flexible and supportive pathways to graduation.
By providing therapy directly within the school environment, students receive timely, developmentally appropriate behavioral health support in a setting where they already feel safe and supported.
School-based therapy:
Reduces gaps in care
Supports emotional regulation and behavioral stability
Improves engagement in learning
Eases access challenges for families
Our integrated care team now includes a Developmental Pediatrician, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and two Marriage and Family Therapists, allowing us to address a wide range of behavioral and developmental needs.
In-Office Counseling
In addition to school-based services, Alyson and Steven offer in-office counseling in both English and Spanish for patients and parents.

In 2025, LifeSpring expanded its mental and behavioral health services by hiring Brittany Dee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and fully integrating Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH). This model embeds behavioral health support within medical visits, improving access, coordination, and outcomes while reducing costs and external referrals.
