Hi, my name is Alicia and I am here to assist you with your anxiety or depression, and the burden of having to work towards overcoming it. Also, if you are struggling to be kind to yourself and be present in what your life holds, I am here to help you. Having a healthy life includes balance. Finding balance won't be easy, but we can work towards getting through it together. How will we work through obstacles together? By using a whole person self approach to address your needs. A few of my counseling approaches include cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and client-centered therapy. Seeking therapy isn't easy.

Lazy Lake, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I’m not your typical therapist—and that’s intentional. You won’t find me in a blazer with a clipboard asking, *“And how does that make you feel?”* I show up in jeans and a t-shirt, ready to create a space that’s real, safe, and grounded in trust. Therapy with me feels more like a conversation than a clinical interrogation. I specialize in working with people who’ve been through a lot—first responders, survivors of sexual and physical abuse, those navigating PTSD, narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, and members of the LGBTQ+ community who often carry the weight of being misunderstood or marginalized. I’m here to walk beside you through the mess, the pain, and the healing—not to observe you from a distance. I also live with ADHD, so I get what it’s like to feel scattered, overstimulated, or like your brain works just a little differently. I bring that understanding into the room—not just professionally, but personally. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or just need someone who gets it, you’re in the right place. I believe trauma requires more than textbook techniques—it requires presence, patience, and a genuine connection. My style is relaxed, honest, and supportive. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure, and we’ll work together to help you feel whole again. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical or cold—it can be real, raw, and even a little bit human. That’s what I offer.

Clearwater, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Building great relationships is one of the most meaningful aspects of life. Hello future client! My name is Ruthie and I'm one of those rare native Floridians. My primary practice approach is relational, using interventions that can help you understand the link between your thoughts, feelings and actions and the effect on your relationships. This will improve your ability to connect with others in ways that will enhance your life. I want to support you to have the loving, fulfilling, respectful relationships you deserve. In my graduate program, I learned that all human behavior develops in the context of relationships. Family relationships are most significant to individual growth. The importance of healthy relationships in a successful life is often underestimated. The value of independence in our society overshadows our human need for connections. The quality of our family, friends, romantic, work and community connections impact our physical, mental and emotional health. Positive interactions promote feelings of connectedness and a sense of self-worth while negative encounters can lead to increased anxiety, a lack of self-confidence, and may even affect your thinking abilities. I earned a BA in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences from University of South Florida in 2009 and obtained a Master’s in Social Work from the University of New England in 2016. I proudly became a licensed therapist in 2020, one good thing that occurred during the Covid pandemic.

When counseling, I look at the whole person not just the current situation. I take time to get to know you and understand your situation and/or concerns. I treat all my clients with the utmost respect and compassion. I use motivational skills to help my patients see their strengths and help them create achievable goals. I believe in breaking the big goal into smaller goals that lead to meeting that larger goal. I believe this creates positive reinforcement for my clients and improves their emotional health, during what could be a difficult time in their life. I look forward to helping you improve your mental health, one step at a time. I have 6 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictions and co-occurring.

Even when everything looks fine on the outside—your calendar full, your responsibilities handled—there can be a quiet, persistent exhaustion underneath it all. You might feel like you're constantly pushing, performing, or holding space for others, but rarely stopping to ask how you’re really doing. The world often rewards high-functioning anxiety and burnout with praise for being dependable, driven, or “together,” but inside, you may feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles that no longer serve you. Therapy offers a space to pause. A space where you don’t have to explain everything or hold it all together. In our work together, we gently untangle the deeper patterns—like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or fear of letting others down—that often trace back to earlier relationships or environments. These patterns helped you survive, succeed, or stay connected, but they may now be costing you peace, clarity, or a sense of self. I bring a calm, nonjudgmental presence to our sessions, helping you shift from coping to healing. We’ll move at your pace, making space for both insight and emotional process—not just what you think, but how you feel. Over time, you can begin to trust your own needs, set boundaries without guilt, and feel more like yourself again—not because you’ve fixed everything, but because you’ve come home to who you are beneath the pressure. You are not too much, and you are not alone. If you’re ready to feel seen and supported as you navigate change, I’m here to walk alongside you.
