Hi, my name is Alecia, I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 6 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I currently have a private practice and my past experience has included working with adults and children in crisis unit, rehab and detox facility, caregivers of individuals with Neurocognitive disorders, hospital trauma units and emergency departments. I use Evidence Based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered, Solution Focused therapies with Motivational Interviewing. My goal is to collaborate with members to embrace change through their strengths. Life can be a lonely place when you no longer feel yourself or are feeling overwhelmed. Anxiety, depression and traumas can feel like a cinder block on our shoulders. You may wonder how things will change? Change begins with vulnerability. To be vulnerable is to let go of the notion you have to struggle alone. It is time to write another chapter of your story with the strength that has gotten you this far. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to release the burden that is holding you back from living your best life. Be you, Your Way.

Since earning my master’s degree in social work from the University of South Florida in 2012, my career path has led me to gain experience working with individuals faced with a multitude of mental health diagnoses. For nearly a decade I have been working with people suffering from depression, anxiety schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anger management, low self-esteem, and trauma related issues. My goal is to ensure that after every session you feel heard, understood, and validated. I aim to help you gain confidence navigating life's challenges and for you to feel you are not alone, someone does care, and that your problems are not insurmountable. My extensive experience working in the mental health field allows me to pull from an eclectic assortment of theoretical backgrounds, methodologies, and therapeutic approaches and techniques. This further allows me to customize a therapeutic experience that is unique, realistic, and tailored fit to address your specific needs in ways that are in alignment with your level of comfortability, personality, spirituality, and personal lifestyle preferences
