For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I sincerely believe that each of us is born into this world deserving of happiness, safety, and love. For some of us, the road to emotional wellness can be impacted by forces and experiences beyond our control. At times, we can lose sight of the beauty life has to offer us due to potential trauma, family history, or hardships we’ve experienced. My goal is to help you uncover, rediscover, and reclaim the joy and purpose in your life through compassionate, welcoming, and conversational counseling services. Using a holistic approach focused on connecting the mind, body, and spirit, I help you connect with your higher purpose and experience life free from emotional pain. As a bi-lingual practitioner, I offer compassionate, collaborative services that help you live a happier, more rewarding life filled with joy and purpose. Emotional stress and setbacks are a normal part of our human existence; however, these challenges can have a tremendous impact on how we view ourselves and our lives. My goal is to help you explore, understand, and overcome your obstacles and start living a life filled with promise, hope, and possibility.

It is normal to feel indecisive about seeing a therapist. Many individuals who are seen in my practice have expressed it was the best decision they made to take care of their mental health. Our mental health is our wealth. You owe it to yourself to make that first step to reach out to a therapist to explore and process issues which are hindering you from living your truth. You may be in a position where you need a non biased person to help you dissect issues in your life that a friend or family member is unable to do. Think of all the different coping mechanisms you have access to from your therapist to help you. You are your longest investment. Give yourself grace. Take the step towards seeing a therapist and with guidance, you will find the light within to guide you to your most authentic self!

Welcome! My practice name is Love & Light Wellness Therapy. I work with individuals, couples and Families.

I believe our struggles can be a portal to incredible growth when we reach out for help during challenging times.

Welcome. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist associate and a certified coach and hypnotherapist, helping individuals and couples transform their lives and relationships.

You need to make yourself a priority!! Self- Care is not selfish and therapy is a piece of taking care of the yourself. We workout to better ourselves physically and therapy is to better ourselves both mentally and emotionally!!

You deserve to be living your BEST life. Your mental and physical health are interconnected and you need to take care of yourself to reach your full potential. How you love yourself, is how you teach others to love you. I create a safe space in my therapy sessions where clients can feel free to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns in a non-judgemental setting. I help my clients with the challenges they face at home, work, and school. I work with families and couples to help improve communication and marital/relationship issues.

Be willing to explore what makes you hesitant with an experienced clinician who will listen to and support you.  

In my work, I take an integrative approach to each person, knowing that we are the sum of our parts. I draw from my extensive training, studies and lived experiences in mindfulness, somatic & nervous system based therapies, attachment theory, psychodynamic theory and many other therapeutic approaches. I am warm and empathetic and easily create a compassionate, safe and collaborative environment while also being direct. This serves as the foundation of our therapeutic relationship and catalyst for gaining helpful insight and creating meaningful and lasting change in your life. We will look at long-standing behavior patterns, negative perceptions and limiting beliefs that are holding you back and work to implement the changes you need to make to move forward and create a life you love and celebrate!  

It takes a lot of courage to start treatment. I meet clients where they are and have a gentle approach. The beginning is the hardest step in the right direction.

​  My clinical experience includes working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have worked in various settings such is psychiatric inpatient, residential centers, community mental health centers, and private practice. I graduated from Loyola University in 2009. I specialize in working with Eating Disorders and Sexual Trauma.  My approaches include; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed, and Gottman Method. I believe that creating a safe and non-judgmental environment is essential in order for healing to take place. It is important that clients have the freedom of self-expression and are not rushed through the therapeutic process. Working collaboratively, we will identify a framework that is validating and promotes growth. My approach is honest, empathetic, and relational in order to help clients gain self-awareness. By focusing on clients’ strengths and values, I help them learn healthy ways to overcome challenges and empower them to make positive changes in their lives.

Hello! I am Alicia Solomon and welcome to "Positive Vibes Psychotherapy!" I am a counseling and behavioral therapist that specialize in marriage and family therapy.

Sometimes it takes talking through things and getting another perspective to see things clearer. In addition, things can often be too overwhelming to deal with on your own and a therapist is a great person to speak to because they are nonjudgemental and nonbiased with the capabilities to give you an honest answer. 

Hello!  I am a recent (May 2019) graduate of the Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University-Central Texas. I graduated from the same school in 2016 with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology.  I specialized in child and adolescents throughout my school career.  For my internship, I completed hours at Cedar Crest Hospital and RTC, working with children, adolescents, and adults.  Upon graduation I got a full time job at the same hospital on the adult unit.  I became adept at working with those with schizophrenia, Bipolar, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and Borderline Personality Disorder.  I also am very experienced and knowledgeable at working with those with ADHD, autism, and various learning and developmental delays. I enjoy using a person centered approach that focuses on the person’s strength and ability to manage their daily living through skills taught in therapy.  However, I enjoy research and drawing on many other modalities to provide the treatment that would best benefit the client. I am currently an LPC-Associate/NCC, but I am less than 300 hours away from full licensure. I have experience both with the short term hospital therapy and the more chronic long term therapy aspects, having seen several clients.  I have transitioned to private practice, where I see patients both in person and via telehealth. I currently cannot accept insurance because I do not have my full license yet, but I do accept cash payment.
