Welcome! I’m Dr. Aleah Horton, a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and build fulfilling, meaningful lives. I have 8 years of experience working with adults who have been impacted by the criminal justice system, individuals facing major life transitions, and those seeking to improve their emotional well-being. My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused—I strive to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to take control of your journey. Major transitions can feel overwhelming, filled with uncertainty, self-doubt, or roadblocks that make it difficult to move forward. My goal is to help you break through those barriers by fostering resilience, self-awareness, and confidence. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply trying to redefine your future, we’ll work together to create a plan tailored to your unique needs and strengths. My mission is to help you regain control of your life, build healthy relationships, and develop the tools to thrive. Taking the first step toward therapy is a powerful act of self-care. If you’re ready to invest in yourself and your future, I’d love to walk alongside you in this process. Let’s get started—your transformation begins here!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where you can begin sharing your story at your own pace. The goal is to get to know each other, establish a foundation for therapy, and clarify what you hope to gain from the process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in empathy, real-world understanding of systemic challenges, and ability to empower clients to rewrite their narratives. What makes me unique is my specialized expertise in working with justice-involved individuals, my strong academic and research background, and my ability to blend clinical expertise with a compassionate, solution-focused approach.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My ideal client is someone who is ready for change but may feel stuck due to past experiences, systemic barriers, or internal struggles. My clients are open to self-reflection and willing to engage in meaningful work. They may not always know where to start, but they are committed to personal growth and ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling, empowered life. I strive to provide them with the tools, guidance, and support needed to break cycles, build resilience, and move forward with confidence.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Existential
I utilize an existential-humanistic perspective as a treatment method to help clients explore meaning, personal responsibility, freedom, and self-actualization in their lives. I use existential principles to empower individuals, particularly those facing major life transitions or systemic barriers, to redefine their purpose and reclaim their autonomy.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
My experience with mindfulness-based therapy involves integrating present-moment awareness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion into my work with clients. I use mindfulness to help individuals break free from negative thought cycles, reduce anxiety, and build a greater sense of control over their emotions and actions. In doing so, clients can cultivate self-awareness, emotional balance, and inner peace, empowering them to approach life with a clearer mind and greater confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves using structured, evidence-based techniques to help clients identify, challenge, and reframe negative thought patterns that impact their emotions and behaviors. I integrate CBT to help clients develop healthier coping strategies, reshape their mindset, manage emotions more effectively, and take proactive steps toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.
