Getting to know Alecia Christensen
Hi! My name is Alecia, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#14897). My primary areas of focus are trauma and anxiety, though I also treat other diagnoses. I believe that emotional regulation and a sense of security are possible even amidst uncertainty and lack of control.
My approach
I am a therapist who will walk alongside you on your healing journey. My main goal is to collaboratively work with you through your current life stressors, providing tools to build a toolkit for living a life you enjoy. Some of the most common theoretical approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and trauma-focused CBT. I integrate these with Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Imago, Emotionally Focused Therapy, as well as visualizations, deep breathing, mindfulness, and grounding techniques. I believe in a holistic approach, tailoring my interventions to meet the unique needs of each client.
My focus
I primarily work with clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, feelings of being out of control, life adjustments, and dissatisfaction in their lives. Common life transitions I have supported include moving between life stages and coping with grief. The clients I work with are motivated to be challenged, desire deeper insight into their lives, and want to see meaningful change.
My communication style
I would describe myself as a caring, reflective, and passionate therapist. I strive to be a safe person and create a safe therapeutic environment for each client. My clients lead the way on this journey because I believe each person has full autonomy over their therapeutic experience without the therapist imposing an agenda. Everyone comes to therapy with different goals, and it is my role to adapt to your needs-whether that means being a safe person, a confidant, a cheerleader, or an encourager.

Alecia is the best therapist I have ever worked with, hands down, and I don’t say that lightly. I have a background in psychology myself and have spent many many years in therapy, and she blew all of that right out of the water in the best possible way. Her ability to see through-lines in what I share, her memory from week to week, and her insights are unmatched. She has helped me get back in touch with my body in a way that’s bringing healing I could have never imagined.

I immediately felt safe with her, and felt that her intention in her practice was to align the sessions with what I would find the most helpful. She has a lot of experience dealing in trauma.
