Alicia believes it's important to meet a client where they are and provide alternate views to help with change.

Why Healthcare
Alicia's passion for mental health started within her own family. She recognized that her family could have benefitted from therapy and she could be the support other families need. Her passion for mental health clicked when terminating with a client during her internship. She saw the consistency paying off for them. As she continued working in the field, she saw what it meant for clients to have someone who could validate their experiences or put words to their emotions.
