Breathe More, Live Better
hello.
I’m Alicia de la Vega, LCSW
Licensed Psychotherapist in Arizona & Texas
I provide therapy for women and LGBTQ+ clients navigating life transitions, relationships, and family-of-origin wounds - in person in Phoenix and virtually across Arizona and Texas.
Why Polite Canoe?
Canoes can be single or duo - like individuals or couples. They’re self-powered, steady and slow to change. Paddle too hard, and you’ll tip. Give your oars away (time, energy, or resources), and you can’t steer your own course. Healing often works the same way.
My approach
I have specialty training in Integrative Behavioral Couple’s Therapy (IBCT), Gottman method, Cognitive Processing Therapy for Trauma, Acceptance and Commitment therapy for Depression, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Social Skills training. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, with some psychodynamic theory. I believe in evidence-based practices that honor the unique needs of the individual as well.
