I found Alycia via Yelp (+ google) almost 2 years ago. After reading the reviews and her website, I…read morefelt connected to her style and message so I contacted her for a phone consultation. I generally have a tough time expressing myself in conversation but I immediately felt heard and understood by Alycia. In just that short phone call, I felt more relaxed and confident about my decision to work with her. I came to Alycia with career goals in mind, but with the awareness that there were some deeper personal issues that were blocking my progress in this area. Alycia's style really fit with my personality. I'm trained as a Counselor and have used traditional counseling before but never with the success that I had working with Alycia. I liked that her method included pre-session homework assignments (journaling as well as lifestyle) that really helped me get to the root of what was keeping me from living an authentic life. This left my mind and heart much more open and prepared for Alycia's gentle & intuitive guidance into even deeper areas that I needed to explore. I don't know how I would have gotten through that moment in my life without her (probably still stuck in the same place). I was hopelessly blocked from my true self when we started working together. At the end of the 3 months I felt armed with all the tools to guide me to my next steps confidently. I'm writing this review today, a year and a half after finishing my work with Alycia, because I recently went back to all of the pre-work I filled out before our first session. I looked through my goals for my work with her and realized that everything I wanted for myself has happened. It doesn't look the way I imagined it would look at the time, but I'm exactly where I need to be and where I said I wanted to be. Amazing. I'm so grateful that I followed my gut and chose to work with Alycia. If you're reading my review and you got all the way to this paragraph, there's a reason. If you're ready to live a life that comes from your heart and feels good and "right," set up an appointment with Alycia and get started. I remember being so scared of spending so much money, but now I'm here on the other side saying: It's worth it. Investing in yourself is worth it.
