With over 20 years of experience, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients—working across the globe with the armed forces and incarcerated individuals facing severe trauma, to couples, families, and creatives looking to thrive, not just survive. My approach is grounded, evidence-based, and tailored to the complexity of your lived experience.

I’m trained in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Gottman Method couples therapy, allowing me to address everything from PTSD and relational conflict to performance blocks and emotional regulation. As a biracial therapist, I bring a culturally attuned lens to every session and hold space for identity, intersectionality, and healing.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m also a certified yoga instructor and sound healer, and have been featured in national outlets like The Washington Post, MSNBC, and USA Today.

I am a queer-identified, sex-positive psychologist experienced in working with a spectrum of sexual orientations, identities, and relationships. I help individuals and couples interested in discussing kink and consensual non-monogamy.

I also specialize in treating OCD (including "Pure O"), specific phobias, social anxiety, and relationship anxiety. My approach combines evidence-based exposure therapy to help reduce symptoms and break patterns of avoidance with deeper exploratory work aimed at understanding the underlying fears, beliefs, and experiences that contribute to anxiety. By addressing both the symptoms and their roots, I help clients create lasting change and greater freedom in their lives.

For individuals with OCD, I offer both Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). If ERP doesn't feel like the right fit for you, or if you're interested in an alternative approach, I-CBT can be an effective treatment that targets the reasoning processes underlying obsessive doubt.

I currently accept insurance for group therapy only and have two OCD-focused groups with openings available.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, and empowering. I believe meaningful change happens when my clients feel genuinely heard and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. My style is warm, authentic, and practical, I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to identify patterns, build on strengths, and create sustainable change.

I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based practices. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, whether that means addressing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or navigating major life transitions.

Clients often describe me as calm, approachable, and insightful. I see therapy as a partnership, one where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. My goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and balance so you can move forward with greater peace and purpose.

Hi, my name is Alisha Dozier and I have been working in the mental health field for 19 years. I love providing safe haven for individuals to work through their personal struggles.

Growing up in a culture where mental health was often stigmatized, I saw how difficult it could be for people to openly talk about their struggles or ask for support. Those experiences shaped my passion for therapy and inspired me to help create a space where people feel comfortable, supported, and understood without fear of judgment.

In my work, I’ve had the opportunity to support individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating a range of life challenges. These experiences have strengthened my belief in meeting each person with empathy, patience, and respect for where they are in their journey, while helping them build on their strengths and move toward meaningful change.

As a queer, first-generation woman myself, I am passionate about working with people facing different life challenges.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in social justice, trauma-informed care, and empowerment.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, respect, and practical support. My background includes working in hospital and behavioral health settings, where I have helped individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and other complex concerns.

I am passionate about helping others along their journey to achieve healing, growth, and balance. I know firsthand that life can often take us down unexpected roads that might feel extremely scary, intense, and at other times, exciting. I also know that there is infinite power and resilience that comes from seeking help, leaning in, and doing the work that helps us cope during the difficult times and feel grounded once again.

I’m a California Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and have a certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). Before I was a therapist, I worked as a preschool teacher. I was drawn to clinical work because of the struggles that I observed in the families of the children in my classrooms. During my clinical training, I worked primarily with couples, teens, and adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Though I love working with children, I am passionate about my work with adults because healthy, supported, and self-compassionate adults are the key to health for future generations.

I'm here to help you heal old wounds that continue to play out in the present. Have you noticed patterns that keep repeating? Maybe you feel stuck somewhere you don't belong (in depression, relationship conflict or anxiety). I have 25 years experience working with adults, elders and adolescents. I specialize in trauma recovery, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, workplace stress and parenting support.

My focus areas include ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and Coping with life transitions . Whether you’re seeking immediate symptom relief or hoping to explore the root causes behind your experiences, I offer a supportive, structured, and compassionate space designed to meet your needs. I welcome all individuals to sit with someone that will meet you where you are.

As your therapist, my purpose is to guide you to uncover your inherent potential and see the best version of you even when it may be hard to see it in yourself. I am dedicated to nurturing the vision of your ideal life while guiding you on the path to realizing your true self. I firmly believe that everyone is destined to lead a life filled that brings them joy and peace, and regardless of your background, experiences, or current perceptions of your capabilities, there is always room for self-forgiveness, self-love, and substantial personal growth.
