I’m Alicia. I used to be a therapist, when I worked hands-on with families, couples, teens, and kids to dig deep within themselves and live better lives. I loved this work, but as fulfilling as it was, I could never seem to do enough. Just as one kid would graduate from therapy, there’d be another one right in his place, more confused and heartbroken than the last. It was tough. As I relocated, first from Cleveland to Atlanta, then Atlanta to Philadelphia, I decided to make a change and use my mental health training and experiences to impact lives on a much broader scale. It’s what I do now as a wellness writer. I use my expertise to help those who might not have access to a traditional mental health provider or coach. In my free time, I’m an avid movie reviewer, aspiring painter, and total foodie.

I have a decade of experience as a health writer and eight years of experience as a hospital-based master’s-level psychotherapist.

I also have nine years of experience as a university adjunct instructor, teaching English Composition, American Literature, and Technical Writing.
