Welcome
Do you believe that happiness is not possible unless you obtain a certain body size, relationship or job and are on a constant quest for perfectionism?
You may find yourself turning to addiction, chaotic relationships, disordered eating, your inner critic and negative body image to find relief from anxiety, stress or trauma.
This is understandable, but there is another way...
Imagine creating a compassionate relationship with yourself based on accepting your body as a source of wisdom, connecting you to your feelings, authenticity and life force.
Emphasizing health, vitality and wellness at any size or life passage, gives you the permission to embrace your life in the present moment. This can be an act of liberation in a society that perpetuates diet culture, materialism and feeling not good enough.
Through therapeutic, creative, mindfulness and somatic (body-based) practices, I will guide you to find a sense of safety, calm and ground in your body and nervous system. My experience is that when you feel this embodied sense of support, you can then listen to true needs and desires and trust they can be met. Through this experience of belonging, you can find the freedom to choose more fulfilling relationships, meaningful work and connect to your creativity and self-expression.
I offer private sessions in my lovely San Francisco office. Please explore my new offering, Reclaim and Rejoice, a 3-month immersive retreat-based program to transform negative body image.
About Alecia Singer, LMFT
For over 20 years, I have been a therapist working in the field of eating disorders, body image concerns and other co-occurring issues such as trauma, addiction, depression and anxiety. Other areas of specialization include relationship and communication skills, grief and loss, life changing illness, life and career transitions, and enhancing creativity. I believe that optimal health and healing can be supported by working in an integrative model attending to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being of each individual. I received my MA in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Expressive Arts therapy from California Institute of Integral Studies and am also a graduate from the Tamalpa Institute in movement based Expressive Arts Therapy. I have advanced training in yoga therapy, mindfulness, Integrative medicine, Guided imagery, Sandplay therapy, Dialectical behavioral therapy and EMDR.
