Alicia Schauland, LMSW (she/her)

It is a privilege to work with individuals courageous enough to face the painful experiences and emotions that in their attempt to protect us, distract us from connecting with our most authentic selves. I work from my heart center to provide a safe space to journey alongside you toward meaningful transformation guided by the whispers of your inner voice. I offer genuine warmth and compassion, and I am truly passionate about the sacred work of assisting others in self growth.

It is out of that same passion that I founded Allow Therapy Partners in order to support and empower other clinicians also pulled toward evidence-based and trauma informed care.  I am also an EMDRIA approved EMDR Consultant and have completed the NASW Michigan Chapter’s certificate in Core Supervision offering leadership and consultation to newly trained clinicians and limited licensed social workers. 

I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Grand Valley State University in 2012 and am equipped with training and experience in evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT),  EMDR, and IFS. I encourage others to join me in the brave journey of better understanding our inner world so we can heal our wounds, and live our most true and beautiful version of our story.
