Hello! My name is Alicia and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been in the helping profession for over 17 years. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from West Texas A&M University in 2007. I also acquired my license in Chemical Dependency in 2008 and have specialized in several areas that includes anxiety, depression, self-worth, behavioral problems, relationship conflict, communication, trauma, addiction, and other underlying issues that get in the way of living a fully satisfying life. From a young age, I have had a unique way of connecting with people that allowed them to feel comfortable, at ease, accepted and not judged. Intuitive thinking has always been one of my core strengths. I’m able to hear what a person is really saying even if he or she lacks the words to articulate their hopes or fears. I strongly believe that each person has a unique collection of strengths and resources within themselves. My goal as a therapist is not to solve someone’s problems or give a quick fix but to build a connection and a relationship built on trust, where vulnerability can occur and the learning process can begin. Being understood, being heard and validation of our feelings and emotions is something that we all strive for. The methods I may use with you include psychodynamic (to understand the unconscious forces that underlie your thoughts and behaviors which come from early childhood), mindfulness (awareness of paying attention, on purpose and in the present moment, without judgment), dialectical behavioral therapy (living in the moment, while accepting the contradiction between self-acceptance and change), and cognitive behavioral therapy (which counteracts the negative thinking of depression, identifies the problem and brainstorm solutions, etc.). I have also been trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to assist client in working through trauma and relieving symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress. Know that I bring unique understanding of certain issues, coupled with excellent training and experience, to provide a non-shaming, non-judgmental, very affirming and safe place for clients to express themselves, gain a better understanding of the patterns in their lives, and work towards their goals. I look forward to meeting you and working with you!

I have had the pleasure of spending my life living, working, and mentoring in multi-cultural environments in the US, Europe, Africa, and Asia . My counseling experience expands 40 years and includes: marriage reconciliation; Women’s Boundaries groups; Divorce Care Recovery groups; Grief Care Groups; Interpersonal relationships; working with Teens; and working with parents with special needs children. I received my Bachelors and Masters of Art degree from Dallas Baptist University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have completed 50 hours of Trauma training and 40 hours of Certified First Responder Counselor Training certificate programs. My approach to counseling is a combination of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and proven Biblical principles. I am a relational person. In my experience, the challenges in our relationships are results of shame, fear, wounds, trauma, unrealistic expectations, or any combination of these. Depending on how long you have operated in this manner and how eager you are wanting change, this will determine your progress. Once movement toward wholeness begins, new opportunities for authentic and transparent relating will emerge. I enjoy working with people and seeing them discover their gifts, and passions.
