Hello! I'm Alesia, a licensed mental health counselor who sees individuals, couples and families. I've recognized many people are suffering in silence. If you're one of them, I want to advocate for you by teaching you how to regulate your emotions, create a more positive mental space and increase your self-esteem in the process. I became a counselor because I found excitement and fascination in understanding why people do what they do. Adding to my ability to provide that perspective in a clinical setting, I'm fulfilling my goal of positively impacting the world. If you're ready to actively change your mental, emotional, and honestly behavioral state, I'm here to help.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is the intake where I get to ask questions and understand why you're seeking therapy. The second session is when the real therapy happens.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I believe people who like themselves are more likely to put in additional effort to maintain a specific desire. That is why I also love to include self-care tips and homework assignments. Clients had some pushback initially with my homework but over time learned to understand the method of my madness.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I'm an eclectic therapist: I tailor sessions to what my client(s) need. Examples include CBT, DBT, solution-focused, mindfulness, stress management, Gottman and family systems. I feel at home challenging and replacing negative thoughts, providing psycho-education on new material and its value to you, and showing clients their strengths that have been overlooked.
