Alicia (Allie) Hartman

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We (you and I) achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I believe that the therapy process is a collaboration between a therapist and a client, with ultimately the client being the one in charge. I tend to work more in a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy modality along with Solution Focused. I believe that therapy does not have to be a long process and that ultimately the client knows when it is time for termination and resolution. I also believe that when working with children, giving them a creative and fun outlet to process change is beneficial. I believe that play helps them express themselves in ways that they may not be able to verbalize. When working with children it is a partnership with all involved and it takes collaboration and work from myself, the child, and the guardians.

I believe that everyone has the power to be their best selves. Each person has their own path in life to follow and when that path is blocked or full challenges I believe that people should reach out for help. I believe that there is a lack of understanding pertaining to mental health and that the stigma surrounding receiving help should end. I have worked with various organizations to promote health mental health among veterans and their families. I also belong to an organization that promotes the career field of mental health among military spouses and advocates for license portability.
