Vitalis Counseling

About Alicia, the Founder and Clinical Director

Hi! I'm Alicia, and I'm a passionate Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with expertise in trauma, ADHD, and autism. My mission is to empower individuals to heal from their past, manage their neurodivergence, and thrive in life.

I hold dual licenses in Kansas and Missouri and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II) with additional certifications in treating Autism and ADHD. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative, and I believe in empowering clients to become active participants in their healing journey.

What Sets Vitalis Counseling Apart?

At Vitalis Counseling, we take a trauma-informed, client-centered approach. We believe that healing is possible without re-traumatizing clients and respect your unique experiences and perspectives. We offer:

• Trauma-informed therapies: For dissociative identity disorder and PTSD, I utilize Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) respectfully, focusing on safe and mindful processing.
• Neurodiversity expertise: I combine CBT with psychoeducation and practical strategies to help you manage ADHD and Autism.
• Empowerment and collaboration: We work as partners, respecting your autonomy and empowering you to make informed decisions about your treatment.
• Inclusive and supportive environment: I stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community and celebrate neurodiversity.

Our Areas of Expertise

We offer support and guidance for:

• Trauma and PTSD: Healing from past experiences, including complex trauma, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
• ADHD: Managing attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, and fostering greater self-confidence and productivity.
• Autism: Developing communication and social skills, managing sensory sensitivities, and building deeper connections.
• Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID): Understanding and managing dissociation, developing coping strategies, and promoting a sense of identity wholeness.
