About Alicia Cherian
I'm Alicia Cherian and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of New York with over 8 years of professional counseling experience. I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliance Graduate School of Counseling and trained extensively at Focus on Solutions, a private practice. I received additional training at Mental Health Association of New York City, a local and nationwide crisis resource for individuals, families and professional providers. There, I gained experience in training of employees, teaching, and speaking and went on to train professional counselors and leaders at Redeemer Counseling Services all while practicing psychotherapy.
I bring an energy to therapy that makes clients feel they are seen and belong and this matters to me. I genuinely believe that the clients I see have the capability to create beautiful, long-lasting change. I listen and help identify patterns from the past and present while creating space for the client’s story to truly understand the issue. I believe in using client-centered, and systemic approaches to see the whole of a person in the context of their relationships. I use Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Emotion Focused, Internal Family Systems, Strategic, Structural and Intergenerational modalities of therapy.
I am warm, compassionate, honest, intuitive and have years of experience to meet the client where they are. I see it as an honor to hold your pain or joy as I journey with you through a life enriching experience. I look forward to working with you!
