Alicia Cadiz, LPC — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Alicia!

I help clients uncover their shadows and unconscious self, bringing light and awareness to the parts we want to hide. I explore every aspect of who you are—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual—as we work together to help you reach your highest potential.

My focus

I work with Veterans, First Responders, and individuals facing relationship difficulties, breakups, and addiction. I help you rediscover your inner confidence and rebuild your self-esteem through a holistic psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approach.

My approach

My approach combines psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy, creating a holistic space where mind, body, and soul reconnect. I help you navigate your story and pinpoint strengths that will assist you in overcoming challenges. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and take the first steps toward change.

My communication style

I create a space where you can be honest, heard, and understood without judgment. I listen deeply, help you make sense of your experiences, and guide you in reflecting on patterns and choices. Even when facing difficult topics, I stay calm, grounded, and patient so you always feel supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to dedicate my life to holistically helping others reach their highest potential. My work with veterans, incarcerated individuals navigating addiction and life sentences, and clients healing from relationship issues has deepened my belief in resilience and the power of meaningful change.

My goals for you

I work with you to clarify what truly matters and break larger goals into manageable steps. I combine active listening with reflective insights to help you notice patterns, reframe challenges, and stay accountable. Together, we create strategies that align with your values and honor your pace.

Our first session

I believe in a holistic approach where every part of you—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual—plays an essential role in your growth. Together, we'll explore and integrate these aspects to help you reach your fullest potential in a space free from judgment and bias.
