Alicia Exsted, LPCC

Alicia has been working in the mental health since 2010 and is experienced in addressing issues of depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, psychotic symptoms, trauma, grief/loss (including pet loss), stress management, emotional and behavioral dysregulation, life transitions, sexual health and identity. Her practice includes working with adolescents (age 12+) and adults for individual therapy. She brings a cognitive-behavioral, existential and person-centered approach to therapy in order to meet clients where they are at in their journey through life.

Alicia encourages insight through exploration of early and current experiences, as well as skills-based learning (CBT, DBT, mindfulness) to promote change. She focuses her therapy on balancing each area of one’s life (emotional, physical, spiritual, occupational, environmental, intellectual, social) in order to obtain overall wellness. She is a strong believer that everyone is capable of lasting and meaningful change and growth. Alicia is here for all of the challenges and accomplishments that we face throughout life. She holds space for it all with authenticity, compassion, curiosity and acceptance.

“It is my privilege to join you on this journey of self-discovery and growth, through the joy and the pain of life, loss and actualization.”

When Alicia is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, tending to her two dogs and her flock of chickens, crafting, reading, making art and volunteering at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
