Unico Awareness

Hello, I'm Alejandra, but you can call me Allie. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200), I'm thrilled to be on this journey with you.

Understanding Therapy:

The term 'Therapeutic' originates from the Latin word 'therapeuticus,' meaning curing and healing. In Ancient Greek, 'therapeutikos' signifies being attentive, helpful, obliging, and curative. These principles guide the essence of Unico Awareness.

Starting therapy might feel intimidating initially; it's a new experience that can be uncomfortable. At Unico Awareness, our expertise lies in creating a comfortable space for you to embark on this journey of self-discovery.

What to Expect in Unico Awareness Psychotherapy Sessions:

Imagine therapy as entering a secure room with a beautiful mirror at its center. This mirror reflects various emotions and thoughts, enabling you to assess whether you resonate with the reflection or wish to transform or accept aspects of yourself and your life.

The therapeutic mirror, your therapist, supports this process, offering ideas and plans to enhance or completely reshape your vision. Here's what to anticipate in our sessions:

First Session: The therapist will review consent forms and conduct an intake questionnaire to better understand your needs.

Second Session: An assessment will be provided, and a personalized treatment plan will be crafted collaboratively with you.

In subsequent sessions, we will work on your goals using various tools such as guided imagery, art, and conversations tailored to your needs. Our goal is to turn this therapeutic experience into a life-enriching journey.
