Getting to know Dr. Alicia Zielenski

I work primarily with women, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, self-doubt, shame, perfectionism, relationship challenges, boundaries, communication, people-pleasing, and life transitions, including the transition to motherhood. I believe many of the challenges we experience are interconnected, and therapy can be a place to slow down, understand those patterns, and figure out what is actually getting in the way. My approach is warm, collaborative, and active. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and reflective approaches to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Rather than simply talking through problems, we will work together to identify patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, develop practical skills, and make small, realistic changes that feel sustainable. I strive to create a space where clients can be honest without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. I believe you should have an active role in determining what we work on and the pace of treatment. My goal is to help you gain greater clarity, build confidence, develop healthier relationships and boundaries, and feel more comfortable showing up as yourself.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In my practice, I prioritize a tone that feels relatable and down to earth while keeping it real. I offer a non-judgmental space and perspective to help you reflect on your life and work through the challenges you are facing. Together, we’ll work toward small, realistic shifts that can change how you feel and show up in your life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I strive to create an environment that is both professional and comfortable, while remaining approachable and relatable. Together, we’ll explore your personal journey, story, and current challenges to identify clear goals, strategies, and tools that can help you navigate life’s difficulties. When working with younger clients, I often use games and kid-friendly activities to facilitate conversations in a way that feels natural and engaging. I also prioritize building trust and maintaining open communication with parents as an essential part of the treatment process.
