Alia Ball, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alia!

I have extensive experience with relationship and marital troubles, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, and self-esteem issues. I can help you heal, grow, cope more effectively, improve your relationships, and become more satisfied in your life. I'm passionate about promoting personal discovery and healing.

My focus

I especially enjoy working with couples, individual adults, and adolescents to help them rediscover and utilize their strengths to face challenges and find personal growth in themselves and their relationships.

My approach

My approach with my clients is encouraging, non-judgmental, individualized, and collaborative. Through open and genuine interaction, my clients are empowered to find their own unique and personal solutions. I work with my clients to ultimately improve their quality of life and their relationships and gain a resulting feeling of fulfillment!

My communication style

I work to create an open-minded, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment for my clients. I am client-centered and provide individualized focus for my clients, with genuine and compassionate interaction.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up with my drive to work with people as my parents were teachers and I experienced and grew to believe in people-oriented work. I also grew up with issues in my family that led to my own understanding and desire to help and support others.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to increase awareness of the issues they bring to treatment, understand contributing factors and challenges, and explore options for empowered progress. We develop goals and steps together toward achieving them. Empowering clients is key to goal setting and progress.

Our first session

In the first session, we will work to explore more fully the client and issues they would like to work on. We explore contributing factors and experiences, and start to discuss treatment goals. The first session is more exploratory typically in gathering information and starting to understand issues and goals the client addresses.
