Clients say this provider is
At Wellness Connect Services LLC, I provide compassionate, supportive, and judgment-free psychiatric care for individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, distracted, emotionally drained, anxious, depressed, or like they are working twice as hard just to get through the day. You are not alone. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in anxiety treatment, mood disorders, women's health, mental health and nutrition, ADHD, and geriatric care (CCATP, CMDP, CWHS, CMNCS, ADHD-CCSP). . I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, mood changes, trauma-related symptoms, sleep difficulties, and life stressors. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported while we work together toward more clarity, stability, and confidence.
The first session is about understanding the full picture, not rushing the process. Together, we will begin identifying what may be contributing to your symptoms and discuss treatment options that feel safe, realistic, and personalized. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and more clear about the next steps in your care.
In sessions, I bring warmth, empathy, honesty, active listening, and a calm, nonjudgmental presence. I take time to understand your symptoms, your history, and what you have already tried so we can build a treatment plan that feels realistic, safe, and personalized.
My ideal client is someone who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, distracted, unmotivated, or unsure how to move forward, but is ready to take a meaningful step toward feeling better. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, mood changes, trauma-related symptoms, sleep difficulties, life stressors, or feeling like they are constantly trying to keep everything together. I enjoy working with clients who want to better understand their symptoms, explore treatment options, and build a plan that feels realistic, safe, and supportive. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting care. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel heard, and support you as you work toward clarity, stability, confidence, and feeling more like yourself again.

I utilize supportive therapy as a core component of my practice, particularly in conjunction with medication management. My approach focuses on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard, validated, and supported. Through supportive therapy, I help patients process stressors, improve coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience. I provide guidance, reassurance, and practical strategies to manage symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. This method allows me to build strong therapeutic relationships while helping patients maintain stability and function in their daily lives.
I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques into my practice to help patients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. I work with patients to recognize negative thinking, develop healthier perspectives, and implement practical coping strategies. CBT is especially effective for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, and I use it alongside medication management to support symptom improvement and long-term stability. My goal is to provide patients with tools they can apply in their daily lives to better manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
I incorporate Solution-Focused Therapy into my practice to help patients identify their strengths and focus on practical steps toward achieving their goals. This approach emphasizes present concerns and future outcomes rather than dwelling on past difficulties. I work collaboratively with patients to develop realistic, goal-oriented strategies that can be applied in their daily lives. By focusing on what is working and building on existing strengths, patients are able to make meaningful progress in managing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I often use this approach alongside medication management to support efficient, results-driven care and help patients experience improvement in a shorter period of time.

My first visit Alicia was great. I was very anxious going into this and getting a diagnosis, but she made me feel that I can definitely conquer it. I am looking forward to seeing her again.

I was really anxious going into this session because it's been a while since I have received mental health care and Alicia made me feel calm and excited for my healing journey. It was like talking to a friend so I really appreciate her .
