Meet Alicia Johnson, LMFT
Online Therapist For Women in Michigan,
Oklahoma, Florida, and South Carolina
You don’t have to manage this alone.
You’re typically really good at keeping the chaos managed and not letting anyone know just how stressed you are. However, lately, it is feeling out of control and you don’t know what else you can do to manage it.
It’s time to prioritize your own care without feeling guilty.
Therapy can be a great resource to help you hash out the racing thoughts, make sense of what is going on, connect with your emotions, and find a better work-life balance so you can actually relax!
Counseling in Ann Arbor
My Style:
Many of my clients say I am different than their previous therapists. When I ask how, they say they can really be themselves and feel understood. There is no pressure or expectation to be perfect. You don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing or that you’re going to be judged. Our therapy space is a safe, non-judgmental zone where you can be you!
Therapy is not a one size fits all, so I will meet you where you are! Think of a park map where there are many different trails to choose from. I hold the map and make sure we aren’t going to get lost in a forest, but you get to pick the path! You pick where we turn, how far on each path we go, if we should go down any side adventures along the way, and what type of trail experience you want to get! We work together to reach the end of the trail.
You can’t pour from an empty cup!
The process:
Being a woman can be hard! There are a lot of pressures and expectations for how we should act, look, and feel. Each session, my goal is to empower you so you can do what is best for you- not what society thinks is best.
I believe women can be successful in life and take time for themselves- guilt free. In the early stages of therapy, we are working together to build up your foundation of tools and resources! We find creative ways for you to cope, practice self-care, set boundaries, identify your needs, and more! This is possible to do without sacrificing your connection to your loved ones or the achievements you’ve worked hard at.
Some of the deep work comes when we start exploring our past experiences and what the inner voice is telling you. By this time, you’ll have a solid foundation and can tackle those thoughts and feelings with support and confidence. You deserve to treat yourself with the same compassion you give others.
Private Practice Consultation Services
Maybe you’re a new therapist and ready to start your business but have no idea where to start. Maybe you’ve been working for someone else for a while and ready to take charge of your work. Either way, starting a business is exciting and confusing. It is empowering and terrifying. I am here to help navigate the steps of marketing, options for business styles, how to create a niche, and increase your confidence and joy at work.
We can’t do our jobs in isolation. I am so thankful for my amazing network of folks who lifted me up as I took on the challenge of private practice and I have worked hard to give back to others as well. I have been able to connect and network with therapists all over the country using social media, trainings, and communities. I would love to join you in your corner!
I remember feeling overwhelmed and burntout over my career and I don’t want that for you. You have worked hard for your degree and you deserve to thrive at work. Let’s get started! Learn more about the consultation services HERE!
