Hi! I’m Alicia Kay
I’m a Licensed Trauma Counselor, Certified Coach, business owner, mother and holistic ambassador. But at my core, I’m an overcomer.
As a survivor of intense adverse experiences in childhood, I’ve walked my own journey of recovery from abuse, substances, self-sacrificing and self-sabotaging.
These patterns led to a lifetime of shame and “I’m not enough” beliefs. Despite all of my past suffering, I couldn’t help but think “there must be another way.”
My Path to Healing
In my graduate studies, I started learning how our nervous system holds onto every emotional experience since the day we are born.
This causes the brain to fire and wire as if the experiences are still happening in the present. Being a constant learner, I knew there had to be ways to restore our mind, body and spirit back to its original state, before the incidents occurred. I became determined to heal myself, and teach others how to do the same.
This led to many trials and tribulations, when I ultimately realized that I was working in a broken system that didn’t see clients as the whole, sovereign beings they really were. Filled with patriarchy, pharmaceuticals and power imbalances, I knew I was supposed to pave a new way.
I started my holistic private practice in 2013 and it has been an upward journey to ascension and expansion ever since!
Following the calling of my own soul, I knew I could no longer be limited by constraints of the mental health system, so I broke free and started my life coaching business.
Out with the old, in with the new
As a single mother, soul seeker and owner of two businesses, I’ve developed hard-won resiliency. Today, I identify as an old soul, lightworker, twin flame and above all else, a divine feminine woman who broke free from years of pain, trauma, religious dogma and intergenerational curses.
My journey to expansion involved changing my name to Alicia Kay as an outward expression of my divine embodiment, while maintaining my essence through this metamorphosis.
My Background
Since earning my Master’s Degree from Saint Bonaventure University, I’ve spent the last 15 years practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Trauma Counselor. I specialize in supporting clients who struggle with childhood wounding, sexual trauma, relationship issues, and many other mental health concerns. Throughout the years, I have helped thousands of men and women heal as they let go of their past and focus on their future.
In addition to my work as a psychotherapist, I have three years of experience as a Certified Life Coach from the Institute of Certified Coaches. My mind/body/soul approach allows my clients to bring the shadow pieces of their past into conscious awareness. In this way, I empower each client to break free from old patterns, embrace their divine femininity, and step into the fullest expression of their authentic self.
Reconnecting clients to their heart center and true divine nature is a core passion of mine. In addition to my current certifications and licensures, I am a Certified Somatic Release Breathwork Practitioner that helps clients dislodge pent-up emotions, clear their nervous system from blocks, and fully express themselves so they can embody their higher purpose and unique gifts.
My guiding truth:
You’re already good enough.
My experiences have given me the gift of empathy and gentleness for everyone I meet. Although our circumstances may be different, the feelings within them are the same. Rather than asking you to make drastic changes to become “good enough”, we start from this foundational truth: you already are.
“The way Alicia helps me connect the dots and problem solve in a way that feels manageable to me is invaluable. If you’ve ever felt stuck, or like you aren’t getting anywhere with your current therapist or coach, Alicia Kay will help you shift!”
