About
Having personally known the impact of hardship and poverty, I bring a deeply empathetic, trauma-informed approach to walking alongside others as they heal, grow, and rebuild their lives.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals heal, grow, and create lasting change. I work with adults and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life transitions. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we uncover strengths, build resilience, and foster self-compassion. My trauma-informed approach creates a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing and discovery at your own pace.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Massachusetts Global. My practice integrates person-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based approaches. I support clients in rebuilding confidence, developing coping skills, and finding meaning through authenticity, trust, and shared understanding.
Reaching out for help takes courage, and you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Together, we can work toward stability, healing, and positive change. I’m honored to walk beside you on your journey toward a more balanced, empowered, and fulfilling life.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, and families find healthy ways to cope, communicate, and thrive. I work with those navigating stress, anxiety, family transitions, cultural identity concerns, adjustment, depression, or relationship struggles. Many of my clients seek to manage overwhelming emotions, heal from past experiences, and build confidence. As a Christian and a minority, I bring a perspective grounded in faith, resilience, and cultural understanding, creating an affirming space for clients who value the integration of their beliefs in the healing process.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Widener University. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s needs. I draw from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and strength-based practices, while incorporating creative tools like play therapy and expressive activities.
I know that seeking support takes courage, and you don’t have to walk this path on your own. As a Christian, I believe in the power of hope, healing, and renewal, and I strive to create a space where faith and therapy can work hand in hand. If you’re ready to take the next step, it would be my honor to walk with you on this journey.

I believe therapy is a collaborative space where your strengths, self-awareness, and capacity for change can guide us toward meaningful, lasting growth, and I bring a compassionate, mindful, and solution-focused approach to help you get there.
I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) who believes you are enough exactly as you are. I provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and everyday stressors. I believe therapy is a place to feel heard, understand yourself more deeply, and discover the strengths you already carry.
My approach is strength-based, solution-focused, and grounded in mindful CBT. I work collaboratively with clients who are ready to explore new perspectives and challenge unhelpful patterns. Together, we identify practical tools and meaningful steps toward greater confidence, clarity, healthier relationships, and lasting growth.
Therapy doesn't require you to have everything figured out—just be willing to begin. I strive to create a space where you can show up authentically, feel understood, and move at a pace that honors your journey. If you're ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and begin exploring what meaningful change can look like for you.

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.

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is to gain trust and normalize meeting via video. I enjoy the convince online therapy has for clients and how it helps open up the opportunity for additional people to receive care.
I teach the of tools of creating self-awareness and emotional safety in online therapy.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when clients show up and appear to have a sense of relief.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with staying present and using self-care such as getting enough sleep, eating well, getting outside, etc.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
