testimonials
Let’s face it, therapy is expensive and time and energy consuming. There are a lot of therapists out there and you want to find a good match for your child or yourself. In addition to reading about what I do and how I approach anxiety and OCD it can be helpful to read why other people recommend me.
“Alivia has been among the best things to ever happen for our family. She is deeply knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate, professional and effective. We saw many mental health professionals before finding Alivia, it is hard to find someone as good as her.”
“Absolutely phenomenal. Her expert method of working with kids is brilliant, unique, and fine-tuned! She immediately put me (and my daughter) at ease and we worked on the heart of the issue right away. My child had a trauma response to a medical procedure and she helped my child work through it so quickly. She is trained in multiple approaches but I was drawn to her because she can do EMDR. She definitely empowered my daughter and also me as a parent, educating me the entire way so that I could better support my kiddo. I would recommend her ten times over! I am so glad we found her!”
“What stood out to me was the time Alivia took to help educate me, as the parent, about my child's needs and the many resources she pointed me towards. Before working with Alivia, past therapy experiences sometimes felt overwhelming. But having her walk me through how to actually DO at home what we talked about in her office- made such a difference. She is warm and kind and my child connected to her fun, playful side. As an adult, I felt understood and safe to talk to her about our struggles. It was obvious she cared, wanted to help and knew what she was talking about.”
“There are several reasons I frequently trust clients to Alivia for their treatment of anxiety. She goes to great lengths to professionally stay up to date in treatment modalities through training and certification. This benefits clients greatly to have a therapist with such a diverse toolset of treatments for both children and adults. I appreciate the feedback I have received from parents of the children Alivia treats and for the resources they feel like they learn to support their children and the difference that makes in their ability to parent and support their child. I am confident when referring clients to Alivia that she is aware of her scope of practice and can provide exceptional treatment but that she will refer or consult when a client's situations need a different treatment modality and that is of great value in this work.”
“Her parent consultation worked amazing for us! We had a 5 year old who had a sudden onset of severe anxiety. At first I just got frustrated and expected her to be able to change back to the happy little girl she was. After a few months I knew she needed help but I had no clue what to do. So we met Alivia for a parent consultation and she was able to break down our situation and pinpointed exactly what was going on and gave tools to help our daughter cope and overcome the anxiety. Looking back it was all simple small things that caused the anxiety and small adjustments to our lives to fix it, but we never would have known without Alivia’s help. Thanks SOOOO MUCH Alivia!!!!!!”
