Alicia Villa, LPC

Staff Therapist
Director of PACT

Philosophy

As a therapist, my hope is to remind clients that they are not broken and that it’s okay to not be okay. I believe that with God, anything is possible. My aim is to create a safe space where growth and empowerment can flourish. As a therapist, I strive to offer an environment filled with warmth and respect, recognizing that everyone is the expert of their own life. While, collaborating with each client in their own personal journey to reach their personal goals.

Alicia recognizes that asking for help takes courage and feels honored to provide a safe space of people to heal and grow.

Alicia earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Texas and her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health from the University of North Texas at Dallas. Through her education, she has gained knowledge about working with adults, adolescents, children, families, and various diagnoses. Alicia particularly enjoys working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families.

Alicia understands the significant influence of culture on personality development and mental health awareness. She values providing care for Hispanics in their native language, ensuring they receive the support they need in a comfortable and familiar manner. She has volunteered with non-profit organizations focused on supporting families affected by domestic violence, immigration, trauma, and homelessness. With a background in youth ministry, she served as a bilingual youth leader at her Catholic parish for several years. She also advocates for mental health awareness within the Hispanic community and participates in women’s rights activism.

In her free time, Alicia enjoys spending quality time with her family.
