ALICIA GREY, MSW, LSW
About Me
Hi, I’m Alicia! You’ll usually find me with a venti iced coffee in hand, probably blasting music and dancing like no one’s watching. I love reading, podcasts, cooking for people I care about, and finding hidden gems while thrifting. My smile has a gap, and I wear it with pride—it’s a family trait that reminds me of my roots.
I would describe myself as an introverted lover of God with a joyful heart. Funny and witty, I enjoy bringing laughter into conversations. Empathy comes naturally to me, and I approach challenges with a problem-solving mindset. Others see me as a good listener—compassionate, friendly, giving, and kind.

AGES SEEN
Alicia enjoys working with kids ages 5 to 11 because they’re at such a fun and creative stage of life! This is a time when they are learning how to name their emotions, develop coping skills, and build confidence in who they are. However, it’s less about the age and more about building connection and tailoring her approach to meeting a child where they’re at. Alicia loves being a part of the process of helping kids find their voice and build their confidence while developing tools that will support them for life. Alicia tries to help create lasting change by building trust, teaching practical tools, and supporting emotional growth.
PHILOSOPHY
Children thrive when they feel understood, safe, and supported, and Alicia’s works to create that environment in her office. She also understands that parents play a foundational role in their child’s overall health. She believes that parents should be present for, attuned to, and willing to grow alongside their child. Alicia knows that if parents are engaged partners in the process and are open to collaboration, their children will be, too.
Alicia’s approach integrates attachment-based therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness techniques, all tailored to each child’s unique needs.
Q & A TIME
What is a quote or saying that has meaning to you personally?
“Connection before correction.”
People heal and grow when they feel safe, seen, and understood. Long term change happens after this connection is made.
If you could give parents one piece of advice, what would it be?
Your presence matters. Children don’t always show it, but showing up for them with love, compassion and openness will do wonders for their mental and emotional well-being.
What was your first job?
My first real job was working as a ride operator at an amusement park! I loved it so much. I’ve always enjoyed people and that job put me right in the middle of them.
