Alia Shahi, AMFT
Welcome, I’m so glad you are here! Reaching out for support takes courage. I love working with clients who are motivated to gain a greater sense of self and who desire to acknowledge and shift the patterns that are no longer serving them. I am committed to your growth and wellbeing as we navigate the conscious and unconscious processes that influence your life. My goal is to help you better understand yourself. Through a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive modalities, we will work together to cultivate safety and create an environment that fosters growth and healing. I enjoy working with a wide array of clients including with children, adolescents, adults, families, and military personnel experiencing a range of mental health challenges.
