Alaina Maine

Hi! I’m Alaina, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in the Utica area. I have over three years of experience providing comprehensive mental health care and continue to grow and learn as a therapist. I graduated from Cazenovia College in 2023 and began my career working with adolescents and families in a rural school setting. I am now expanding my work into private practice to better support my clients at their convenience. I’m passionate about walking alongside my clients throughout their therapeutic journey, offering support, understanding, and compassionate care every step of the way.

I strongly believe that effective treatment is holistic and intentional, incorporating a variety of evidence-based and inclusive modalities to support each individual’s unique needs. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and strengths-based, with an emphasis on building a strong therapeutic alliance. Together, we work to support emotional health and personal growth in a way that aligns with your unique qualities and desired treatment outcomes.

I believe in thoughtfully taking on clients whom I can effectively and thoroughly support. During our first session, we will explore what brings you to therapy and determine whether we are a good fit to work together. My goal is for clients to leave the initial session feeling empowered, secure, and with a renewed sense of self-worth.
