Getting to know Alicia Hurst

Hi there, I'm Alicia! I am a licensed professional counselor with over 16 years of experience as a therapist working with adults. I hold a Master's in Art Therapy Counseling from Eastern Virginia Medical School. My specialty is helping people overcome symptoms of PTSD and anxiety. LPC, ATR, CTS. My approach My approach blends EMDR, Written Exposure Therapy, and a specialized nightmare protocol (ERRT) to help untangle the past and create a path forward. With a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy, I work with clients to challenge old patterns, process difficult experiences, and reclaim their narrative. Therapy with me isn't just about coping-it's about positive transformation with someone you trust, helping you along the way. My focus My work is deeply rooted in helping those who have faced the unimaginable. I primarily work with veterans and adults, providing a space where they don't have to explain the weight they carry-I already understand. PTSD is the condition I'm most comfortable treating, and I also help clients navigate the anxiety that often comes with it. Whether it's processing trauma, facing your nightmares, or learning how to move forward without feeling stuck, my focus is on giving you the tools and support you need to reclaim your life. My communication style Right off the bat, you will be able to tell you are in a safe and nonjudgmental space when working with me. I have an interactive therapeutic style where I ask clarifying questions, provide examples, and seek your input about how therapy is working or not working for you. This is for you to get better, and my goal is to help you get there, whether it's with me or someone else. My journey to mental healthcare I enjoy helping people discover their strengths despite how they feel. I also like showing others there's a way to work with emotions and that they aren't something to be feared. My journey to becoming a therapist was pretty straightforward.
