Getting to know Alicia Zide

Seeking support takes courage, and you do not have to navigate life's challenges alone. I am here to offer a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, validated, and supported. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, navigating relationships, or life transitions, we will work together to explore your experiences, uncover your strengths, and create meaningful change. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices tailored to meet your unique needs. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help you navigate challenges, gain insight, and develop practical tools for healing and growth. I work with teens and adults seeking support in managing anxiety, depression, life transitions, cancer diagnosis, and grief. Whether you are looking to build coping skills, identify and redirect unhealthy thought patterns, or explore your personal goals, we will create an achievable, personalized care plan. My communication style is warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where clients feel validated and respected. I strive to be empathetic, offering encouragement while gently challenging unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors when necessary. Therapy should feel like a conversation—I am here to support you, collaborate with you, and empower you to find your individual path forward using a variety of approaches tailored to your needs, including practical tools, space to process emotions, and structured guidance. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Fullerton, which informs my commitment to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care.
