FALL 2024 Reclaiming Your Creativity Expressive Writing class forming now! Please note, this is an ONLINE course for adults, not therapy:). Born with a large facial birthmark and hearing loss, I started my first journal at age 7 as a way to grapple with being “othered,” find my voice and process challenges.

Whether you're feeling anxious, sad, depressed, lonely or something else that has you reaching out to a therapist you're giving yourself a gift. Making the decision to start therapy is courageous, but I understand it can also be anxiety provoking. I believe that finding the right fit is the most important part of the process. You want to feel listened to, respected and understood. That is my specialty. My first step is to help you get really clear about how your thinking and feeling is either helping or hurting you. The goal is to get on a healthy path that leads to more self-confidence and the ability to make better decisions.

Hi, my name is Dr. Tonnette Alcide. I have diverse experience working in health psychology, hospital & prison settings, psychiatric wards & hospitals working with adolescents and adults through individual and group therapy. I use cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic approaches, and culturally sensitive tools. I work hard to build a strong, trusting relationship with all of my clients while getting to know their strengths and what areas will benefit from growth. I believe in tailoring treatment to the individual client, helping them change self-defeating patterns while developing more positive forms of behavior.

I view psychotherapy as a framework for clarifying and working through problems that cause people to feel stuck, helpless or insecure about their lives. Ultimately, I consider the goal of psychotherapy as empowering others to reach aspired levels of purpose, productivity and fulfillment. I work to help others gain a fuller understanding of themselves and the reasons behind recurring habits, upsetting moods and anxieties, relational conflicts and obstacles that seem unsolvable. My clients explore alternative perspectives to their problems, make more informed choices around them, and gain a greater sense of control over their surroundings and the stressors they encounter.

It can be a difficult decision to begin therapy. Just taking the first step to begin to find a therapist can feel overwhelming. As you are reading this, you have already taken that important first step. Successful therapy is dependent upon building trust and fostering a collaborative relationship. I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals work through difficult transitions in their lives and to cope with a range of problems including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship obstacles, and struggles related to identity. 

I recognize that the process of entering therapy can be difficult and emotionally charged. With that in mind, I listen carefully to my clients and work at a pace with which they are most comfortable. I am best suited to treating adults with problems related to work and relationships.

Whether working with you individually or within a family system, my goal is to foster a warm and nonjudgemental space for you to feel heard and free to explore difficult feelings. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families on a variety of issues including anxiety, peer and family conflict, behavioral challenges, mood disorders, and LGBTQ+ related issues. Regardless of what has brought you into treatment, I work closely with you to reduce shame and deepen your understanding of your relationships, behaviors, thoughts and feelings. Such insight is the foundation for change and growth.

Are you feeling stuck in certain aspects of your life? Not feeling fulfilled in your work and relationships? Not sure how to best engage your child and interact with their school? Change is possible, and you can enjoy a life where you feel more fulfilled, heard, and able to address and manage challenges.

Many of us find ourselves feeling stuck, frustrated or unfulfilled in our relationships, work or life path. Talking to a friend or family member may be a good start but, at times, cannot create a safe, supportive distance to work through what is troubling us. In my clinical work, I offer a safe and supportive environment in which to understand yourself, what's getting in the way in your life now, and explore new ways of coping and understanding life's challenges. I believe real change takes place in the moment-to-moment collaboration between therapist and client.

Maybe you’re isolating, overwhelmed, constantly triggered, or adjusting to something new, my job is to help you put it into words and find a way through. Perhaps it’s work stress, old or recent trauma, a loss, a relationship or a learning problem, or simply problems becoming your best self - I integrate both psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches, as well as continual study of new developments in the field to help. My style is warm, interactive and tailored to your needs. I see treatment as both an art, a science, and a unique conversation between two people whose focus is on your needs and your desires.

My approach to treatment is a supportive, validating and compassionate one, incorporating various styles of practice including insight oriented, relational, Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) and/or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Each individual has his or her own needs and preferences. This could include either a goal specific, time limited treatment or an insight oriented approach in which they are looking for a space to make meaning of various experiences and understand their impact on the self. A comfortable, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is an essential foundation necessary to make the changes one of looking for.

After 25 years of experience, I've learned that successful psychotherapy begins with a genuine collaborative relationship and connection with my clients - one formed in an environment of trust and safety, but with enough challenge to promote change. I work from a psychodynamic and relational perspective, actively engaging with you to explore issues including relationship and career difficulties, anxiety, depression, self -esteem, as well as addictive behaviors such as eating disorders. I integrate behavioral strategies (CBT), life coaching techniques, and mindfulness practices as needed. I want my clients to know themselves better, be able to explore new options, and learn the tools needed to change.
