Our Chattanooga office is excited to welcome Ali Goodman to our team!! Ali is a Marriage and Family Resident therapist who already has a couple of years of experience in community mental health seeing a range of clients. You can book with her by clicking on website below! Here is a little about Ali:

My passion is supporting individuals and couples wrestling with life stressors, relational difficulties, grief, family dynamics, and trauma. Maybe you are in a life transition, feeling alone and lost. Maybe you don’t feel connected to those around you. Maybe the past haunts you and you’re just not sure how to overcome it. We’ve all experienced one challenge or another (I know. I’m human, too). Here’s the good news - you don’t have to walk this dark season alone. It would be an honor to join you in finding your light again.

I understand that stepping into the therapy room can be intimidating. Just know, you’ve already been courageous – you recognized the need for change. Now, you’re looking for a therapist to join you. As a therapist, I seek to bring my true self into the room. I am someone who accepts you where you’re at, pours out empathy, loves to laugh, challenges growth, and understands you’re the expert of your life. My goal is to provide a safe space and the skills for you to break the cycles and patterns that are keeping you from meaningful relationships with yourself and others.

I practice through an attachment-based, emotion focused, and humanistic lens. As a committed Christ follower, I believe all people can experience restoration and healing. No matter your belief, I strive to honor you. You are welcomed and accepted here. ​

Stonewalling is when a person in a relationship refuses to engage in a tough conversation. We all do this a little bit, and it's NOT the same as needing some space to process. Stonewalling can go on for days or weeks and when it is consistently present in a relationship, it's a red flag for that relationship. If you are guilty of this in relationships you care about, work on it. It will ultimately end those same relationships.

Meet Alicia!! She works out of our Cleveland Office and has such a calming presence about her. If you are looking for a therapist for yourself or your kids, she would be a great fit!

From Alicia:

I work with couples and individuals navigating issues surrounding communication, connection, and intimacy. By building trusting relationships with my clients, they feel comfortable to explore and disclose the barriers that prevent them from being able to connect with themselves and others. We work together to identify those barriers and pursue change to create avenues for healthy and fulfilling relationships.

I believe that everyone is capable of genuine change and growth, however, this process takes time, intentionality, and can feel confusing. In the midst of this, I seek to hold compassion, grace, and patience for my clients. I strive to challenge and support them while appproaching each session with gentle, unassuming care.

As a Christian, I have a deep value for restoration and believe the process of therapy and me as your therapist, are tools to be utilized int he restoring of your relationship to yourself, your partner, and your family.

Fun facts about Alicia:

Favorite book: Try Softer by Aundi Kolber

Hobbies: reading, having rich conversations with friends, traveling to new places

Favorite quote: “That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald

Cat or dog person: I adore all animals, but probably prefer cats to dogs

I love trying new things!
