LCSW, 7 years of experience
Hi! I'm Ali- A Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I specialize in helping individuals cultivate a life of joy through finding and maintaining peace even during the hard times in life. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to help all individuals share their current struggles, explore new ways to cope and overcome, and find peace in what can seem like never ending chaos in the world.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions to get acquainted, go over my practice policies and informed consent form, explore your current concerns, and discuss your desired outcome. We will finish our first session with the development of your individual plan for addressing the identified concerns through scheduled follow-up sessions.
I am relatable, energetic, and committed to helping you achieve your goals. I seek to make therapy a positive experience and I offer many fun and easy strategies/skills for daily use in your life. I am versed and trained in a variety of concerns such as anxiety, life adjustments, peer or family conflicts, co-parenting issues, and trauma,
I love working with individuals who feel stuck, but are eager to find solutions and new ways to keep moving forward. I am passionate about helping people develop coping skills and strategies to implement into everyday life so that stagnation does not become a permanent state.
I work with you to discover and explore solutions to your current circumstances that will help you move forward towards your future goals. I utilize this treatment method mostly towards concerns related to adjustment to life changes, anxious thoughts and feelings, relationship struggles, and family conflict.
