Hi! I'm Alina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over a decade of experience providing mental health services to individuals from various cultural backgrounds facing a wide range of challenges. I believe in establishing a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients, starting with a foundation based on trust. I provide my clients with a safe space to process their thoughts and feelings regarding current stressors or past experiences that are impacting their mood, energy, relationships, or daily functioning. I support individuals in developing positive coping strategies and learning healthy ways to improve their overall quality of life.
We all experience various life stressors, traumas and challenges. Feelings of anger, sadness, confusion and anxiousness are common and normal, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I provide clients a safe space to explore and understand where those emotions are coming from, and learn new skills to improve overall quality of life.
I applaud your bravery in taking the first step towards a happier and healthier version of yourself. I look forward to connecting with you, learning more about you and your needs, and exploring how therapy could be beneficial for you. I'm honored to become a partner in your journey.
As a mental health provider for over a decade, I’ve had the pleasure of working with children, adolescents, and adults from various cultural backgrounds. I’ve served as a mental health therapist and school social worker, supporting the overall well-being of the individuals and families I’ve had the opportunity to work with. I’ve supported individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, trauma, relationship challenges, and various other stressors.
For over a decade, I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support individuals in identifying problematic thought patterns and reframing negative thoughts to decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression and other stressors.
I believe in taking a strengths-based approach to develop a personalized treatment plan with my clients. I provide a safe space for my clients to explore and express themselves freely, without judgement.
