Getting to know Alis Africano

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Maryland with nearly two decades of experience, I provide a safe, compassionate, and culturally sensitive space where individuals and families can explore their challenges and discover their strengths. My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, grounded in evidence-based practices that are tailored to each client’s unique needs, background, and goals. I believe that each person possesses the inner strength and potential to overcome adversity and lead a fulfilling life. My role is to guide, support, and empower my clients on their journey toward healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. Whether you're facing a life transition, struggling with emotional distress, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard and supported. I work with individuals across the lifespan, from adolescents to adults.
