I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, and that it should be accessible to all. Starting counselling can be scary, intimidating and overwhelming, and that is okay. At Art of Thriving I seek to create space where we can go on a journey together towards building a stronger relationship with yourself and building towards your goals. I don't believe that there is only one form of therapy that works for everyone. What I seek to do is learn from you, and create an approach around the unique individual that you are. You are the expert of your own reality, and I am here to just assist you in your journey.
My name is Alicia Pinelli, and I identify as a fat, queer person with lived experience surrounding eating disorders, anxiety and depression. Throughout my own recovery journey, I longed for practitioners who understood what it was like on the service user side, I decided to dedicate my life to changing the way mental health services can look and be accessed.
I recognize that not every practitioner will fulfill what you need, and that is okay! I am here to help the best that I can, whether that is moving alongside you throughout your counselling journey, or helping to find the best referral fit.
