Alice Oueijan, AMFT

I’m Alice, a bilingual Arabic- and English-speaking associate therapist and high school counselor. My parents immigrated to the States from Lebanon while my mother had me in her belly! I work with BIPOC clients, especially teens, couples, and adults making sense of a late ADHD or autism diagnosis. Working in a high school has taught me how much adults can miss when we jump straight to giving advice. I’m curious about what life actually feels like for you, whether you’re figuring out who you are online and off, trying to set a boundary without feeling like you’re letting your family down, or wondering why the same argument keeps coming up with your partner.

I’m warm, curious, and pretty direct. If I notice a pattern, I’ll tell you what I’m seeing and ask if it fits. We might slow down an argument, look at what scrolling does for you on a rough day, or draw something that’s hard to put into words. We can talk openly about racism, family expectations, or what it’s like to move between cultures if those things are part of what brings you in. I’ll ask what those experiences mean to you and take your lead on how we talk about them. You don’t need to know exactly what to say when you reach out.
