Hi there, I'm Alida!

Confucius once said, "To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right." Options Counseling Services, LLC is awaiting to assist with setting hearts right.

My focus

At Options Counseling Services, we are focused on providing individual, couple, and family services that will meet your expectations with the highest level of customer satisfaction and confidentiality.

My approach

Wanting to be your best and knowing what paths to take to get there can sometimes be a challenge. In our work together, Options Counseling Services, LLC will use Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Therapy to help you reach your desired goals.

My communication style

I use clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Using active listening gives me the ability to create an environment for you to reflect on your experiences and current challenges without fear.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with my curiosity about why people act the way they do and my desire to show them there is a better way. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with individuals experiencing mental health challenges and see how cognitive behavior therapy increased positive growth and change strengthened my resolve.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership between the counselor and the client. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, identify interventions that will assist in reaching these goals, and modify our treatment plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

The first session will be an opportunity for information gathering and a discussion on what brings you to therapy. We will get to know each other and collaborate on the right course of action for you.
