About
As a Latina woman, I understand the unique role we play not only in society but in our own family.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience. My ideal client is someone struggling with depressive symptoms who needs to learn new coping skills to manage their depression. Their goal is to implement a variety of techniques to better help them get through their problems.
I have a Master of Science in Social Work from San Jose State University. I focus on self-reflection and helping clients build their self-confidence. Through our relationship, you and I will focus on the most important thing for you to improve.
As a Hispanic woman, I understand the stigma in Hispanic culture related to mental health. However, there is no shame in needing support and guidance. Mental health is just as important as our physical health. We all need someone at some point to help guide us through difficult periods of our lives.

I’m Alishia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) student with experience providing mental health services to individuals from diverse backgrounds and across a wide range of life circumstances. My professional experience includes working with individuals navigating mental health concerns, trauma, substance use, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other personal or situational stressors. Clients may come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about how to move forward. My goal is to create a space where they feel heard and work collaboratively toward meaningful and lasting change.
I use a compassionate, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. I help clients build insight, develop healthy coping skills, navigate life’s challenges, and recognize their strengths. You can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where your experiences are heard and your goals guide our work together.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to meet you with compassion, understanding, and without judgment. Wherever you are in your journey, your story matters. If you’re ready for support and positive change, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take that next step.

Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
