What patients are saying

Overall rating

“Alicia is the best therapist I've ever had, hands down! During our therapy sessions, she bought a rare combination of empathy, insight and approachability as she helped me unpack and untangle previous trauma and complex emotions. I looked forward to our sessions and the little nuggets of information and knowledge she would drop on a weekly basis. The experience was invaluable - truly a gift from God! ”

Getting to know Alicia Jefferson

I am trained in and use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focus Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. We explore what's best for you—everyone is unique. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Howard University, which has equipped me with the skills to support you effectively.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She makes it known from the first session that she expects a commitment from you to put in the work. She challenges you to confront your issues and work through them, which can be scary especially if you’re new to therapy. But she supplies you with all the tools you need to begin the work of healing. She is an amazing therapist. I would definitely recommend her to others.
