Getting to know Alice Boertje

Alice believes there are not only strategies to build one’s resilience but new ways for an individual to experience life in their internal (emotions, mind and body) and external (relational) world. Using the framework of narrative-focused therapy, Alice incorporates a developmental and holistic approach rooted in attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology and depth psychology in working with teenagers, adults and the family system to promote the desired change and growth individual(s) seek. Alice specializes in working with sexual trauma, depression, anxiety and those struggling with addictions. In therapy clients learn to listen and become receptive to the messages their body is signaling to them about their distress instead of simply learning to ignore or worse, repress the distress signals. Alice has extensive cross-cultural experience and specialized training in working with third-culture individuals (TCK's) and families in global transition. She offers preventative research based care for TCK's and their families so they can flourish through each stage of their journey and development.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Humans are complex beings and Alice incorporates a variety of therapeutic interventions including EMDR, Somatic-based interventions, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, CPRT (child-parent relationship therapy), and art therapy as appropriate to further understanding, growth and healing.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A standard therapy session lasts for 55 minutes and is designed to provide enough time for meaningful exploration while also allowing space to regulate and transition at the end. Each session is unique, shaped by your goals, needs, and what feels most present for you that day. We usually begin with a brief check-in—how you’ve been feeling since our last session, what’s stood out, or what you’d like to focus on today. From there, the work may involve exploring current experiences or relationships, connecting them to deeper patterns or past events, and identifying what your emotions or body responses are communicating.
