Alicia Polk

Alicia Polk is a compassionate therapist who understands that sharing one's story can be daunting, especially when fear of disbelief looms large. Her clients often find themselves grappling with dissociative disorders that are frequently overlooked by mental health professionals, leading to feelings of isolation or being misunderstood. Alicia recognizes that many individuals have faced misdiagnoses, having their symptoms erroneously classified as panic attacks, hallucinations, or even schizophrenia. She firmly believes in the realities of her clients' experiences, assuring them that feeling 'broken' does not equate to being 'crazy.' Alicia views Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) not as a condition of illness, but as a coping mechanism—a wound that can heal over time. Through her eclectic and trauma-informed therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and attachment-based techniques, she empowers her clients to comprehend and manage their symptoms without pressure to disclose details before they are ready. Alicia's expertise extends to helping those with PTSD and insomnia, ensuring a safe space where trust can gradually build. Individuals considering therapy with Alicia are encouraged to explore their options and ask questions during an initial consultation to discover if her approach resonates with their needs.
