About
As a clinician, veteran, mother, and advocate, I believe every person has a story worth understanding, and I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard, respected, and empowered to heal and grow.
I’m Alishia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) student with experience providing mental health services to individuals from diverse backgrounds and across a wide range of life circumstances. My professional experience includes working with individuals navigating mental health concerns, trauma, substance use, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other personal or situational stressors. Clients may come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about how to move forward. My goal is to create a space where they feel heard and work collaboratively toward meaningful and lasting change.
I use a compassionate, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. I help clients build insight, develop healthy coping skills, navigate life’s challenges, and recognize their strengths. You can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where your experiences are heard and your goals guide our work together.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to meet you with compassion, understanding, and without judgment. Wherever you are in your journey, your story matters. If you’re ready for support and positive change, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take that next step.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in La Habra, CA usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in La Habra, CA offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Marjorie Pay Hinckley once stated, “Home is where you are loved the most and act the worst.” Family members catch us at our worst moments: when we’re awkward adolescents, when we’re trying on new identities, when we’re depressed and irritable. But home life can also catch us at our best. So many beautiful moments in a family go unchronicled and unsung, but they exist. Maybe you make your mother laugh hysterically at the kitchen table. Maybe your little brother looks up to you for standing up to a bully. Maybe you love seeing the joy on your father’s face as he contemplates the birds through the window. Family members can notice the good and the bad in each other and the unconditional bonds between them never shift. That being said, harmony and equilibrium can often break down in families. And that’s where family therapy can help.
A licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) at Thriveworks in La Habra, CA can facilitate open conversation between family members about what’s going on, how everyone’s feeling, what everyone’s individual perspectives are. Then the family counselor can help family members look for solutions that everyone can agree on, whether that solution applies to a specific issue or to something more general, like communication. Family counseling can work in tandem with individual therapy (if a family member needs additional support) or on its own. It’s a highly effective way to get problems into the open and figure out how to solve them. But marriage and family therapy isn’t always about conflict. Sometimes it can be about reinforcing what a family is doing right. Either way, a marriage and family therapist can prove beneficial–reach out today for help.
Mental health professionals who work with families in a group therapy setting usually have a few general goals in mind, but specific treatment planning depends on client feedback. The counselors at Thriveworks in La Habra, CA are receptive to any goals that family members bring to therapy, including the following:
