Getting to know Alice Mays
Hello! I'm Ali, an LPC and the owner of a private practice in Myrtle Beach. My clients typically include teens and adults who are encountering feelings of disconnect, feeling overwhelmed, or find themselves in survival mode and are eager to find confidence, peace, and clarity. Their struggles range from anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, eating disorders, to borderline personality disorder. Together, we reveal the root causes of their hardships and work towards regaining a fulfilling life.
My strategies are founded on authenticity, empathy, and personal experiences. I am no stranger to the struggles my clients are facing - having myself battled through addiction and an eating disorder. Understanding the domineering role of shame, fear, and chaos, I bring optimism, honesty, and understanding to our sessions. My methodology leans on grace-fueled truth, finding joy in adversities, and seeks profound transformations through faith-based therapy.
I utilize a trauma-aware, person-focused approach, integrating established methods like CBT, DBT, and ACT. I use somatic work and mindfulness to get clients aware of their bodies and to transition away from survival mode. My faith significantly steers my life and practice. I fervently believe in recovery, rebirth, and am committed to facilitated healing that liberates individuals.
A typical session with me is relaxed, compassionate, and authentic. I provide an atmosphere of sincerity, comfort, and a touch of anecdotal charm, thanks to my three Chihuahuas who keep me entertained. I strive to provide a judgment-free environment where my clients can be themselves.
Outside therapy, I identify as a devout Christian, coffee aficionado, Friends super-fan, and proud Chihuahua mom. The beach is my haven, and laughter, I firmly believe, is profoundly therapeutic.
Should you wish to rewrite your narrative, I'd be honored to accompany you on that brave journey, one step at a time.
