Hi, my name is Alicia. Do you feel overwhelmed and pulled in a million directions? Are you struggling with relationships, work, or health? Are you looking for support? I have been in the helping profession for the last 6 years, working with adolescents and adults using evidence-based practices. I utilize a trauma-informed lens that allows me to meet you where you are at and focus on only the goals you would like to work on. This is your journey and I am here to support you! I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Some specific evidence-based therapies I offer are EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy), CRAFT (community reinforcement approach and family training), TREM (trauma recovery and empowerment model), and Seeking Safety. I am committed to decreasing the barriers to mental health services, so I offer 100% online sessions. In our busy lives, it is important to have flexibility and understanding. It also allows us to build a strong therapeutic relationship anywhere you are in Florida or New York.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
At our first session, we will spend time talking about what brings you to counseling and determine what your goals are. I may also request you complete a few questionnaires that provide me with more information to better help you. Ultimately, you are in charge of your journey though. Everything we do together will be agreed upon between the both of us so you are always in control.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Most of my focus is with adults (18+) who struggle with addiction and trauma. I have experience working with individuals in active Addiction as well as long-term recovery in an outpatient setting. I have knowledge about MATs (Suboxone, Vivitrol, and Methadone) as well. I also have experience with individuals who have trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and other mental health disorders.
