Many people walk through life saying, “I’m fine. Everything is fine.” But often, fine is just a placeholder — a way to avoid feelings that feel too big, too inconvenient, or too overwhelming. FINE stands for Feelings In Need of Expression.
My work centers on helping clients safely express the emotions they’ve been holding in. One of my strengths is actively listening and creating a grounded, compassionate space where those unspoken feelings can finally come forward. We’re taught to suppress our emotions and push through, but those feelings don’t disappear. They settle into the body, they leak out in our interactions, and eventually they build — like pressure inside a volcano — until they erupt.
In therapy, you don’t have to hold it all together. You don’t have to pretend you’re fine. You get room to breathe, to feel, and to release what’s been stuck for far too long. My goal is to help you understand your emotional landscape, express what needs to be expressed, and move toward a life that feels more honest, grounded, and connected.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have more than ten years experience providing services to individuals age 4 to 60+, with my primary practice focus working with children and adolescents, young adults, and parents/caregivers. I am a Certified Parent Peer Support Specialist in addition to my clinical licensure.

Great to meet you. Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying emotional pain, relationship challenges, or life circumstances that have left you feeling stuck or disconnected. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, grief and loss, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I understand that every person's story is different, and I believe healing begins by creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming emotions, navigating changes within your family, coping with loss, or trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide an opportunity to gain insight, build healthier coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My goal is to help you move toward greater balance, emotional wellness, and a more fulfilling life.
I have experience working with both adults and children on various challenges, including: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting, and more!
Howdy, and welcome! My name is Alicia, and I'm a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee. I work with folks who might be dealing with the effects of trauma, anxiety, or depression.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Memphis
Searching for therapists in Memphis starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Memphis therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and populations served. A bio that explains the therapist’s approach can help you understand what sessions may be like and whether their background fits your needs.
In Memphis, your search may include therapists in Midtown, Downtown, Cooper-Young, East Memphis, or nearby areas, along with virtual options across Tennessee. In-person sessions may work well if location, parking, or office setting matters to you. Virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule changes often or you prefer care from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Memphis can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session cost and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
