Alicia Candeias
LAC | Licensed Associate Counselor (In Supervision toward Clinical Licensure)
Accepting Virtual & In-person appointments in Cherry Hill.
I understand how intimidating it can be to seek help from someone outside of your circle. I strive to provide a safe space where we can build familiarity and comfort to work together on your unique goals. Whether you are seeking therapy to learn new skills to improve executive functioning, increase emotion regulation, gain awareness of learned attachment styles and relational dynamics or improve interpersonal effectiveness, I will support and guide you collaboratively.
I seek to provide you with a warm, culturally sensitive and empathetic environment during our time together. Influenced by my personal experience as a first-generation immigrant, I understand how our cultural and societal norms play a role in our functioning, core beliefs, relationships, and worldview. I am passionate to help empower your individuality and expand your awareness through the utilization of a holistic and trauma-informed lens during our time together.
I have experience working with all ages and have practiced in school, agency and private practice settings. My therapeutic approach is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic, Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Relational Systems, Somatic Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Polyvagal Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based Practices, and experiential, creative-arts interventions.
