Great to meet you!

"My name is Alicia Murray, and I am an independently licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping adults navigate and heal from distressing life experiences. I understand that past traumas can continue to impact your present, and I am here to provide a safe and supportive space for your journey to healing.

My approach is grounded in building your strengths and developing effective coping strategies. In our initial sessions, we will focus on identifying your inherent strengths, learning practical grounding techniques like mindfulness, and laying the foundation for deeper work, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

What makes my practice unique is my commitment to empowering you to discover and utilize your strengths as ongoing tools for overcoming challenges. I have over a decade of experience witnessing the incredible resilience of individuals, and I am honored to walk alongside you as you take significant steps in your life.

I am skilled in mindfulness-based strategies, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and specialize in EMDR. I particularly focus on using EMDR to help individuals address and move forward from the wounds of childhood, allowing them to break free from painful past experiences. My clients often describe feeling connected and supported, empowered to take risks and try new skills.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of healing and growth, I'm here to support you."

My approach to therapy

You bring your own strengths and individual experiences with you, we work to identify what your strengths are, build those and learn new skills that reinforce those strengths.

What you can expect from me

We will work together to identify your specific goals and identify strategies we will utilize to bring those into being. I work with you to create a comfortable space where vulnerability can be shared.
