LMHC, 5 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi, I am Alicia Glasser. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and my work is grounded in a trauma-informed, holistic approach that addresses both mind and body. I aim to support the whole person, helping you or your loved one build resilience, understand emotions, and find balance, not just relieve symptoms temporarily. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. I use a range of integrative methods, including cognitive acceptance strategies, somatic practices, expressive therapies, and techniques to calm and regulate the nervous system. Each approach is tailored to meet you where you are emotionally and developmentally, always working collaboratively and with compassion. Whether through talking, movement, or creative expression, my goal is to help you feel empowered, understood, and supported on your path toward emotional well-being.
In your first session with me, you can expect a compassionate and collaborative process that supports your whole self - mind, body, and emotions. We’ll begin by exploring your experiences, challenges, and goals, focusing on areas such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or life transitions. Together, we’ll tune into the body’s signals, reduce stress, and start building resilience. I use integrative methods tailored to your needs, including cognitive acceptance strategies, somatic practices, expressive therapies, and nervous system regulation techniques. The goal is not just short-term relief, but lasting growth, self-understanding, and emotional balance. If you’re looking for a therapist who values connection, curiosity, and self-awareness, I’d be honored to support you on your path forward.
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is its holistic, trauma-informed focus that integrates both mind and body. I aim to support the whole person, not just address symptoms temporarily. By attending to the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and bodily experiences, I help clients build lasting resilience, self-understanding, and emotional balance. This integrative approach allows clients to process challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions in a way that is both comprehensive and deeply personal. I work with clients of all ages, tailoring my methods to meet them where they are developmentally and emotionally. With children and teens, I incorporate age-appropriate tools to help them express emotions, regulate stress, and navigate complex experiences. With adults, I focus on insight, practical strategies, and somatic awareness to foster personal growth and emotional regulation. Across all age groups, my goal is to provide a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My greatest strengths include: Integrative and adaptable methods. I blend cognitive acceptance strategies, somatic practices, expressive therapies, and nervous system regulation techniques. This flexibility allows me to meet clients where they are, whether they respond best to cognitive insight, body-based awareness, creative expression, or experiential work. Trauma-informed and compassionate care. I approach each client with curiosity, empathy, and respect. I understand that past trauma, life transitions, and mental health challenges affect individuals in complex ways. By creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment, I help clients feel safe enough to explore difficult emotions and experiences. Focus on lasting growth and resilience. Rather than offering only short-term symptom relief, my work emphasizes building skills, awareness, and strategies that clients can carry into their daily lives. Clients often report feeling more empowered, self-aware, and capable of managing future challenges. Mind-body connection. By integrating somatic awareness into therapy, I help clients recognize how stress and trauma manifest in the body. Techniques to regulate the nervous system and tune into bodily sensations provide tangible ways to reduce anxiety, increase presence, and improve emotional regulation. Collaborative approach. I view therapy as a partnership. Clients are active participants in their healing process
I work best with individuals who are looking for a compassionate, whole-person approach to therapy. Potential clients are people who want to better understand themselves, build resilience, and find lasting emotional balance. I support children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. My work is especially helpful for those who are curious about connecting mind and body in their healing. Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and bodily experiences while using practical strategies to manage stress, regulate the nervous system, and increase self-awareness. I support clients who are ready to engage in therapy at their own pace. Whether that means developing coping skills, processing past experiences, or working toward personal growth and meaningful change. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered on your path toward lasting emotional well-being.
