Ali Cabral

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who enjoys working with children, teenagers, and young adults, with a special passion for helping teen girls and college-aged women. Before becoming a counselor, I spent 14 years as a teacher, giving me a unique understanding of the challenges young people face. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationships, perfectionism, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients feel understood, build confidence, and recognize their strengths.

My counseling style is warm, down-to-earth, and conversational. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable being yourself, with room for laughter, honesty, and difficult conversations. I tailor my approach to each client's needs, incorporating CBT, EMDR, IFS, person-centered therapy, and creative or play-based techniques. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthy coping skills, and feel empowered to navigate life's challenges.

Our first session is all about getting to know each other and helping you feel comfortable. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what's been challenging, and what you're hoping to accomplish. There's no pressure to share everything right away. For younger clients, I may incorporate activities to help them feel more at ease. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about moving forward.
