Welcome! I'm Alicia Mittleman, a compassionate and experienced licensed clinical social worker dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery.

​

With a deep passion for helping others navigate life's challenges, I provide a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen, heard, and understood. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strength-based, and tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual.

 

My Background

I hold a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Sacramento State University and a Master of Social Work degree from Washington University in St. Louis. I am currently working toward my psychology doctorate degree at California Southern University. I have practiced social work since 2004. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, addressing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and more.

 

My Approach

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for healing and change. Drawing upon evidence-based practices such as Brainspotting, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), I help clients gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and develop practical skills to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-compassion.

​

Areas of Focus

While I have experience working with clients on various issues, I specialize in working with perinatal mental health, trauma recovery, and grief. I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals through life transitions, helping them find meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in their journey toward greater well-being.

​

My Commitment to You

As your therapist, I aim to provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore your concerns, gain clarity and insight, and create positive change in your life. I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way, offering guidance, validation, and encouragement as you embark on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

​

Let's Get Started

If you're ready to take the next step toward greater well-being and fulfillment, I invite you to schedule a brief phone consultation. Together, we can work towards creating the life you envision for yourself and cultivate a more profound sense of joy, resilience, and fulfillment.

​

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Warm regards,

Alicia
