Alicia Brock

Hello! I am Alicia and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Colorado and Wyoming. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Sociology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have known since I was young that I wanted to help people and study Psychology and am thrilled that I get to do this work.

I grew up in the Midwest part of the United States in the 90’s – at the height of purity culture. I vowed to wait for true love and kissed dating goodbye with eagerness. It never occurred to me I could be gay. I met a man that captivated me and we eventually married.

Several years into our marriage, I decided to attend Seminary. Reeling from an abusive church experience, I wanted to give up on God altogether. But, something deep inside me knew there was some kind of Divine Being and that They were good and loving. That experience in seminary taught me to understand the meaning behind scripture, not just the literal words on the page. And, that understanding allowed me to finally open up to a reality I had been ignoring for years!

Divorcing, redefining my identity and losing friends and family was incredibly painful, but I am so thankful to have had some wonderful supports in a therapist, friends and my ex-husband. Finding love and acceptance in these supports is what kept me pushing forward and why I love being able to offer that support to others now.

Professionally, I have worked with people from all walks of life as a social worker, teacher, therapist, and clinical supervisor. Working at the intersection of spirituality and identity is one of my favorite things to do. Nothing fuels my soul more than conversations about the soul!

In my spare time, I love exploring the rugged landscape around me with my girlfriend and our three dogs, snuggling on the couch with foster animals, creative endeavors, and devouring sweet treats!
