About Alicia Drew

---

Alicia Drew has been with her husband Nick for over 32 years. Their relationship has weathered many things that often end marriages, including multiple miscarriages, the loss of a child, an International adoption, the loss of parents, and diagnosis and life with six autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, and other illnesses (learn how I put them all into remission!).

Alicia LOVES working with clients ages 32-65 on a variety of issues such as communication & intimacy issues in relationships, work-life balance, living your best life authentically, & setting & achieving goals.  In over 30 years of working in mental health, there's not much she hasn't seen and helped clients grow through. Alicia loves helping others achieve their highest potential while also healing past hurts & reframing mindset & overcoming mental blocks that are keeping you stuck. She's a firm believer in change through baby steps and habit stacking.  Alicia will work with you using action based and result driven ACT & CBT therapy, but is eclectic in her approach and will use whatever tools are best suited to the individual client. 

Alicia realizes balance is important. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, traveling in her fifth wheel with her husband and 2 dogs, and is an avid reader of all things. Before working in private practice for the past 25 years, she worked Psych at Barnes Jewish Hospital (one of the top 11 hospitals in the nation & #1 in Missouri), designed a mental health program for a non-profit, and was a director in community mental health.  She has now been in private practice the past 21 years.
