Her Story

About ALICIA

My journey into counseling began unexpectedly during my bachelor's degree when I was studying nursing. During a nursing home visit where we had to sit and talk to the residents about day-to-day life, I discovered my true calling. That experience really influenced me to become a therapist, and I changed my major from nursing to psychology because I definitely wanted to do therapy. As an LPC, I specialize in helping people heal from emotional trauma, relationship wounds, and life transitions. I provide online therapy through telehealth and can also do in-person sessions. I'm licensed in multiple states - Arkansas, Texas, Washington, and Michigan - which allows me to support clients across different communities. Within my 11 years as a therapist, I have really helped individuals become a better self, working with majors and adults with different circumstances and different diagnoses. They have definitely made improvements and became better people, so I'm definitely proud of helping others reach their goals. I'm also currently writing my memoir book, looking for it to be published sometime this year or next, which is focused on healing after emotional abuse and discovering your voice. I'm working towards launching my private practice as well, where I hope to expand access to mental health support in the future.

Ten minutes with ALICIA

01What do you attribute your success to?

I definitely attribute my success to doing speaking engagements and giving information to people in the community. My book is really a piece that I'm working on to give out to people in the community, which is going to focus on healing after emotional abuse and discovering their voice. I'm working towards launching my private practice as well, where I can hope to expand and access to mental health support in the future.

02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

I would tell her to follow her heart and do what makes her happy. A lot of times, getting advice from others is not the best decision, it just depends, but definitely follow her heart and do what makes her happy.

03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

A lot of times, people cannot afford therapy or counseling, which is very important for mental health. A lot of times, I will change rates to best fit their needs financially, so they can get the help for their mental health. Mental health is very, very important. It's just like needing to go to a doctor when you're not feeling well or if you're sick. A lot of places will help those individuals get the help they need, but some will say, okay, well, this is how much it costs, and if you can't pay for it, then you need to go elsewhere. I just feel like that's really challenging for the field right now in 2025, when it comes to mental health. A lot of people cannot afford it or don't have insurance.

04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

Values is definitely loving yourself, respecting yourself, and taking care of yourself, because if you can't do those things for yourself, you're not going to be able to do that for anybody else. As a therapist, you have to be willing to help others. If you're not willing to help yourself, love yourself, take care of yourself, you just can't be the best doctor, therapist, teacher, or whatever your title is, to help the community or help even the people you know.
