ONLINE THERAPY FOR NEURODIVERGENT VERMONTERS

Are you...

stuck in survival mode?

intimidated by organizing your messy kitchen?

tired of going to class or work, coming home, and exhaustedly doing it all over again?

stuck in a cycle of burnout and white knuckling where you just can't seem to recover?

Hi, I’m Ali (she/her), the owner and therapist here at HMCC! I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Vermont. I wholeheartedly believe that healing happens in affirming, collaborative, and healthy relationships as I have both personally and professionally experienced this time and time again. I specialize in working with people who are neurodivergent and/or queer and experiencing trauma, depression, and anxiety. I use a strengths-based, goal oriented approach, so you can leave a therapy session recognizing and celebrating your inherent self-worth. I also focus on giving you tangible skills to take away from therapy sessions to manage your overall wellbeing and help you thrive.

HOW IT WORKS

The "Vibe Check"
Consultation Call

We will schedule a free

30-minute phone call to share more about Ali's approach to therapy and we will collaboratively decide if this is the right fit for you.

Initial Session(s)

During your initial session(s), Ali will ask questions about your goals and expectations of therapy, your mental and physical health, upbringing, education and/or employment, relationships, substance use, and religious/spiritual beliefs. In your second or third session, Ali will help you identify realistic, measurable goals for you to work on in therapy. These goals will guide your therapy experience and will be reviewed frequently.

Getting Started Paperwork

Before your first appointment, Ali will email you registration paperwork, which includes HMCC policies, diagnostic assessments, getting-to-know-you questionnaires, and more. This paperwork must be completed at least 24 hours* before your first appointment to allow time for review.

*If registration paperwork is incomplete at this time, your initial session may be subject to be rescheduled.

Your Healing
Journey

Ali typically recommends that clients start by meeting weekly to build the relationship and routine. Everyone's experience and length of therapy looks different though, so we will frequently engage in collaborative conversations about what your therapy experience will look like throughout our time working together. Throughout your healing journey, Ali values any feedback and questions you might have!

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”
