Allelia "Lia" Zalvin believes in meeting people exactly where they are. Lia sees therapy as a collaborative journey, grounded in empathy, compassion, and a touch of humor to lighten the load. Whether you're navigating relationships, disappointments, or personal growth, Lia is here to support you in becoming the fullest version of yourself. Lia values creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Lia believes strongly that it’s an honor to walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and thrive. If you're looking for someone who truly sees you & is committed to your growth, she's here for you.

Lia utilizes a collection of therapeutic techniques and theories to follow a custom-to-you treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals, often following the client’s lead in developing which methods to utilize. Each session is structured around the direction that you, the client, initiate, and at the pace most comfortable for you and your goals.

Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we all need a little support to navigate the tough moments. Whether you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or just not like yourself, you're not alone. I'm here to offer a safe, compassionate space to talk, explore, and grow. When you're ready, I’d be honored to walk with you—reach out anytime.
