Therapy for high-achieving Black women tired of pushing through when you’re running on empty.
Available virtually across Texas.
You’re booked, busy, and burned out—answering texts, fixing crises, showing up for everyone… and somehow still feeling like you’re not doing enough.
Girl, you’re done with the Burnout Olympics—it’s time to say no without guilt and show up for your own peace.
I’m here to keep it real with you—no surface-level, cookie-cutter therapy; I use ACT, DBT, and solution-focused narrative therapy to help you heal the deeper stuff, not just talk about it.
For over 10 years, I’ve been helping those in my community experience real-life healing and finally feel like themselves again, without the burnout badge.

Limited spots available as I keep a small case load to ensure quality.
Why spend another moment …
→ Still wondering why your mind won’t slow down—no matter how many planners, podcasts, spa days, or bottomless brunches with your girls you have.
→ Convincing yourself you can out-organize the heaviness… but the fog won’t lift.
→ People pleasing.
→ Waking up exhausted, pushing through the day, and still feeling like you didn’t do enough.
→ Snapping at folks you love, then beating yourself up for it—again.
→ Feeling numb, unmotivated, and like you barely recognize yourself anymore.
Some topics we may discuss in session…
-
→ Why you don’t have to earn rest—and how to actually believe that.
-
→ The invisible load we carry as Black women that others don’t see—and it’s draining AF.
-
→ The survival mode trap: how you’ve been high-functioning but barely holding on.
-
→ How to be seen, heard, and held—without the performance.
-
→ How being “the strong one” became your full-time job—and why it’s okay to take the cape off.
-
→ The connection between overthinking, overdoing, and old emotional wounds.
-
→ Why your inner critic sounds suspiciously like someone who underestimated you in the past.
-
→ My go-to strategies for setting boundaries without guilt.
-
→ What your anxiety’s been trying to tell you—so you can finally listen, clap back with boundaries, and turn the volume way down.
-
→ Why saying “I’m fine” on repeat is wrecking your nervous system.
-
→ The truth about code-switching and how it's draining your energy.
-
→ How people-pleasing is really self-abandonment in a cute outfit.
-
→ What healing actually looks like—not the Instagram version.
-
→ The magic behind a good laugh during a session (It isn’t avoiding—it’s release.)

→ My top tools to stop spirals before they wreck your whole damn day.

Meet The Therapist
Hey sis, I’m Alicia Lawson, LPC-A.
Your go-to for real talk, deep healing, and a space where you don’t have to perform.
As a professional and Black woman, I get it—the burnout, the code-switching, the “strong one” mask that you can’t let slip.
In session, we get real—using tools like ACT, DBT, and solution-focused narrative therapy, and a whole lot of humor (because yes, you can cry and cackle in the same hour).
Ready to stop faking fine and feel like you again? I got you.
