Dr.Alicia Ciliezar
If you are reading this- you have made a courageous decision to improve your life. Seeking mental healthcare should not feel "scary", but at times it does feel intimidating to speak about personal struggles or current challenges to others- especially over the internet.
At the end of our session- we will discuss your diagnosis and treatment plan moving forward, if applicable medication management will be discussed.
This is why I believe mental healthcare should be humane and not transactional. My practice philosophy is based on Rogerian principles of unconditional acceptance, non-judgmental care combined with clinical expertise. Through a therapeutic relationship, my goal is to optimize your mental wellness while building an environment of trust, safety, and acceptance. At the end of our session- we will discuss your diagnosis and treatment plan moving forward, if applicable medication management will be discussed. Any concerns or questions in relation to medication will be addressed- so that you can be at ease with your treatment plan and have a clear understanding of mutually agreed treatment goals. We will work together on what works best for YOU. Let's take the next step together.
