Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor practicing in Minnesota. She has been working in the helping profession since 2008 and has eight years of experience specifically as a therapist. Her clinical background includes work in clients' homes, schools, places of employment, and office settings.
Throughout her career Alice has held roles as a Personal Care Assistant, Job Coach, Direct Service Professional, Mental Health Practitioner, in-patient therapist, and outpatient therapist. She completed internships at a chemical dependency rehabilitation facility that focused on minority women and in multiple K-12 schools. Those experiences have informed the practical, person-centered approach she uses in sessions.
Alice works with a wide range of concerns, with particular experience in depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship conflicts, and life transitions. She also has experience with bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, hoarding, grief and loss, spiritual concerns, LGBT issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting issues, anger management, self-esteem difficulties, career challenges, coaching, and compassion fatigue.
Her therapeutic approach is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused brief therapy, while also drawing on existential, multicultural, motivational interviewing, family, and other modalities as needed. She examines the various parts of a person’s life to understand how they affect overall functioning, helps clients build insight, and connects that understanding to short- and long-term goals. Alice seeks to foster hope and motivation while emphasizing that clients are the experts on their own lives; her role is to provide safety, empathy, confidentiality, and a non-judgmental atmosphere.
She likens therapy to driving a car - occasionally glancing back to see where one has been, while primarily looking ahead and attending to the present moment. Alice looks forward to beginning that journey with new clients.
Alice holds a Minnesota license as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - license number 957. Please note that she offers video and phone sessions only in the evenings, and she is available for messaging and live chat in the morning and afternoon sessions as well as other available times.
