Alesia Christian

If you've been carrying something heavy, whether it's a traumatic event of your own, the weight of caring for someone who's been through one, or the low-grade dread that comes from the headlines you can't stop reading, you don't have to keep doing it alone. With 15+ years of experience across outpatient, residential, group, and individual settings, I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, domestic violence, PTSD, and the kind of secondary trauma that shows up when you can't shake someone else's story loose.

My style depends on you. Some clients need a sounding board and a steady presence; others need me to be more direct, especially when the noise in their head is too loud to think clearly. I ask a lot of clarifying questions because the patterns we work on usually started a long time before you walked in. I draw on trauma-focused CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and solution-focused work, and I'll let you know which one we're pulling from and why.

In our first session, expect a lot of questions. I want to know what brought you in, what's been weighing on you, and what you've already tried. The more I understand about where you've been, the better I can help you figure out where you're going. By the end, you'll know how I work, and you'll have a clearer sense of what we'll focus on together.
