About
With curiosity and care, Alicia Abbaspour, LMSW, creates a unique therapeutic space where healing becomes possible. Specializing in individual psychotherapy for young adults and adults, Alicia offers both online and in-person sessions in New York, tailoring her approach to each client's needs.
Alicia's practice is deeply rooted in an anti-oppressive, feminist, and queer-affirming approach. Drawing from her own experiences as a queer person of color, she brings a nuanced understanding to her work with immigrant, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC communities. This personal insight, combined with her professional expertise, allows her to create a safe and affirming environment for clients from diverse backgrounds.
In her therapeutic approach, Alicia delves into emotions and their connection to behaviors, explores the impact of past experiences on the present, and analyzes relationships and roles within the client's community. She employs an integrative perspective, drawing from various modalities including psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), narrative, and relational therapies. This versatile toolkit allows her to adapt her methods to best suit each client's unique needs and goals.
Alicia's philosophy centers on the belief that therapy is a place to practice a discipline of hope. While acknowledging and examining past traumas and current challenges, she works collaboratively with clients to carve out opportunities for change and growth. Her approach recognizes that each individual brings a unique set of experiences shaped by the world at large, and she emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the external contexts that impact one's life and relationships.
Available for in-person sessions on Mondays in Greenpoint and virtual sessions Tuesday through Thursday, Alicia offers flexibility to accommodate her clients' schedules and preferences. Her commitment to creating a supportive, insightful, and transformative therapeutic experience makes her a valuable resource for those seeking to navigate life's complexities and work towards personal growth and healing.
