Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

My personal journey in therapy was transformative and it both anchors and motivates my desire to help others.

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. I offer a safe, warm, collaborative, and authentic counseling space and a toolbox of techniques to customize a treatment plan for your specific needs.

I was an artist but my hobby was psychology. I found art therapy (a perfect balance of the two) and continued my education to become one. Yoga and mindfulness became an essential part of my somatic work. I started a private practice in 2001.

I have 26 years of experience in creative arts and mindfulness therapies and have helped thousands of people with relationships, addictions, trauma, narcissistic abuse, eating disorders; spiritual and sensitivity issues.

I want to help others make positive changes in their lives.

​  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.

I began on my path to be a therapist when I was seven years old and would look at another person and wonder if they thought the way that I think.  As a child, I enjoyed people watching and wondered what their motivation was behind actions.  This fascination into the mind continued and resulted in my schooling and subsequent career. 

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. 

Many years ago, I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and panic disorder to the point to where I could not leave my house. Seeing a therapist saved and changed my life! I knew then that psychotherapy was what I wanted to do to help others.

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.

I think what started me on my path was hearing from others how much mental health was not taken as a priority to those struggling with different issues . The stigma behind mental health services was saddening . I wanted to bring change to that stigma where others would feel empowered in helping themselves and reaching out to get help .

I have been working in Mental health for 8 years with a diverse population . I enjoy bringing change , encouragement and balance to those struggling

I became a therapist because I have my own experience with unprocessed trauma and wounds. I can empathize with just existing, and not living, because I had not dealt with my past trauma and wounds. With the help of a therapist, I was able to process my trauma and start the life I have wanted to live. I would like the opportunity to help you do the same with your life. The decision to seek therapy is an important one and you are your most important investment!

My name is Kimberly and I have experience working with couples in distress due to communication issues, conflict resolution, trust, trauma and infidelity. I also work with individuals who struggle with childhood trauma, relational issues, self esteem, shame, anxiety and/or depression. These are a few issues I have been working with couples and individuals to process and move towards a positive treatment outcome. I understand how difficult and intimidating it may be to seek counseling. I have been where you are and I empathize with the struggle. It takes courage to ask for help, and most of us have vulnerability wounds. I hope you reach out, and if you do, I will be there to help you through this journey called life!

I was dealing with a very difficult time in my own life. I found the tools and strength that I needed through my own therapeutic work, and decided I wanted to share that with others.

Welcome to my page! I practice in California, Virginia, and Florida.  My style is very humanistic. I believe that all humans are hard-wired toward growth and healing, sometimes we just get stuck. Together we can uncover what gets you stuck and help you move toward a life that’s more meaningful. 

I started when I first graduated college. I love helping other people evolve. I get great fulfillment by helping others pursue their destiny. 

I am Dr. Kia, your MH Medic and Dr. Of Hope. I’ve been practicing for 25+ years. I am the owner and CEO of Finding your Way, LLC, which is the first MH Urgent Care Center of the Mid-Atlantic Region. I specialize in: Trauma Therapy, Marriage and Family, Anger Management, Self - Esteem, Grief

To be honest, I have always been an empath, and so have felt called to show up for others. Given that I had been working in the mental health and social work worlds since 2008, earning my LCSW seemed like the next logical step. Also, I have been practicing energy work (akin to Reiki) since my early 20s, and presumed that earning my LCSW would hopefully reassure people that I could be trusted to provide legitimate, reliable support (and to help shake them of fears that I was a back-alley quack). I have found that my holistic practices and talk therapy feel like equally fulfilling fingers from the same hand, whereby I feel I am showering my clients with the care bear stare, so to speak.

I feel that clients shouldn't have to be in therapy forever! While co-creating this process with you, I strive to balance my active listening with imparting active, hands-on techniques to help you reclaim your narrative and overcome obstacles in your path. I feel it's about more water rather than less soda, so to speak, and take both a clinical and holistic approach to helping you enhance alignment and experience deeper fulfillment in your journey. Along with my LCSW, I am trained in EMDR, certified in Theta Healing, Reiki, Transformational Life Coaching, and Therapeutic Touch, and Master Practitioner certified in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy.
