Hello! I'm glad you're here. I'm Alice, a licensed clinical social worker serving clients in California and Illinois. I provide psychotherapy services to individual adults, with a focus on building insight, self-acceptance, and mind-body integration.
I specialize in working with young adults managing ADHD and life transitions. I provide affirming care for LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse clients.
Unfortunately, I am not taking on clients at this time.
Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.- bell hooks
I believe healing happens through connection and witnessing. Relationships are powerful, and the therapeutic relationship can be a potent force for acceptance and change.
The foundation of my therapeutic approach is psychodynamic therapy, meaning we will address current issues by diving deeper into your past to gain insight about what experiences may be contributing to present challenges. Other modalities I draw from include Internal Family Systems (parts work), mind-body integration, and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).
In my clinical work, I am guided by the values of social justice, creative expression, authenticity, integrity, and connection. I am a lifelong learner, and prioritize the continuous expansion of my clinical knowledge through readings, consultation, and trainings. My background in theatre translates to my work as a therapist, informing my expressive and creative approach to therapy.
Alice is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. She has experience working in both nonprofit and private settings, serving people of varied backgrounds and needs. She holds a Masters of Social Work with a mental health concentration from the Jane Addams College of Social Work at University of Illinois - Chicago. She also teaches pilates!
Please note I am not taking on clients at this time. I can be reached at [email protected] with any questions.
