Great to meet you!

My name is Alice Canup. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As a therapist and coach with over 30 years experience, I specialize in depression, anxiety, managing stress and particularly work with people who simply feel stuck because life has altered their sense of self. My goal is to give clients a better understanding of themselves in a simple and concise enough way that lessens overwhelm, provides direction and offers hope.

My approach to therapy

Sometimes people think they are lazy or unmotivated when there may be more to understand. You may have depression or fear that limits you. I use a combination of psychoeducation and different types of therapy, along with a focus on client strengths and resources. My varied training allows me to use different ways to help clients, as no two are alike.

What you can expect from me

Most clients want relief from distress. I offer prompt assessment and intervention. Sessions may be limited in number but focused on where you wish to go rather than your history. I can narrow the focus, identify the issue and help you feel less overwhelm or confusion and more able to take the next step. Our work together starts in the first session.
