Alicia Lomas, LCSW — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Alicia!

I work with clients of all ages. I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders, stress, trauma, and women's issues using evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients achieve their goals and improve their overall health and wellness.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and women's issues including life transitions, relationships, fertility, pre- and postnatal concerns, motherhood, parenting, and caretaking. I also work with aging adults on grief and loss, chronic pain, chronic illnesses, and life transitions.

My approach

My approach varies based on your needs, but I always view each client through a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and holistic lens. I use evidence-based therapies to cultivate healing and help you integrate body, mind, and spirit.

My communication style

I create an approachable, relaxed, and calm environment for my clients. I prioritize understanding your point of view and having compassion for your feelings and experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a competitive gymnast, I ignored physical and mental ailments until career-ending injuries left me lost in chronic pain, anxiety, and confusion. This fueled my interest in the intersection of physical, cognitive, and spiritual health and launched my journey into mental health. I look forward to guiding you through yours.

My goals for you

I believe in meeting you where you are and working collaboratively to determine what you'd like to achieve. I believe in the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship and giving you time and space to build trust. Over time, these conversations will help us develop and achieve your goals.

Our first session

We'll spend time talking through your primary concerns and what led you to begin therapy. I'll ask questions to understand your background and factors impacting your health and wellness. While getting to know each other, we'll collaboratively decide the next steps and how to begin your path to healing.
