About

In the complex landscape of mental health, Alessia Kosta, LMSW, stands out as a beacon of understanding and acceptance. As a queer, anti-racist, and trans-affirming therapist, Alessia creates a safe and inclusive space for individuals grappling with life's challenges. Her approach is rooted in the belief that understanding oneself and one's journey is the foundation for building a meaningful life.

Alessia's expertise lies in working with individuals facing a range of challenges, including mood disorders, borderline traits, trauma, and questions of identity. She employs a trauma-informed approach, recognizing that our past experiences significantly shape our present reality. This perspective allows her to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms, taking into account internal experiences, family dynamics, identity, and potential social barriers to provide care that is tailored to each individual's needs.

What sets Alessia apart is her commitment to fostering curiosity and awareness in her clients. She views the therapy space as a tool to help people become more inquisitive about themselves. This approach is characterized by openness, honesty, and humility - values that Alessia embodies in her practice to create an environment conducive to healing and self-discovery.

Alessia's unique background as a queer therapist informs her practice, allowing her to bring a nuanced understanding to issues of identity and self-acceptance. Her anti-racist stance ensures that she is attuned to the systemic challenges that may impact her clients' mental health. As a trans-affirming professional, she provides a validating and supportive environment for individuals exploring or affirming their gender identity.

At the heart of Alessia's practice is the understanding that how we feel impacts every aspect of our lives - from our self-perception to our relationships with others. She guides her clients through the process of understanding these connections, helping them to build resilience, foster self-awareness, and ultimately, create the meaningful life they aspire to lead.
