Alea Frazier

My communication style

I foster a safe and welcoming environment in our sessions, ensuring that my pace aligns with yours. I am convinced that a strong therapeutic alliance leads to transformative work. I wholeheartedly believe in collaboration, and my approach is characterized by genuineness, empathy, encouragement, and unwavering support.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always tell people that I didn’t choose to be a therapist; it chose me. I know this sounds cliché, but it’s true. Throughout my life, I’ve always believed that if I could help others and make a living while doing it, I would be happy. I started my career in residential settings, working with individuals with intellectual disabilities.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative, empowering, and flexible. We start with exploring your values, challenges, and priorities. Goals are broken into small, manageable steps to prevent overwhelm and foster progress. Using a strengths-based approach, if needed, we revisit and adjust goals as needed.

Our first session

In the first session, you can expect a welcoming, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. This session is focused on building rapport, understanding your concerns, and laying the foundation for therapy. We will review and complete any necessary documentation.
