About me
Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Alecia Beaudry and I want to thank you for taking the time to read my profile to see if I might be a good fit to support you in managing your mental health. I invite you to message me with any additional questions you might have about my skills, treatment methods and experience.
I am a Wisconsin based Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who currently is in private practice in Elm Grove Wisconsin. I earned my Master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1999. At that time, I also completed an additional concentration in marriage and family therapy. During my 20+ years in the field, I have worked in a variety of settings that have allowed me to develop a strong knowledge base of acute psychiatric disorders as well as supporting people who are in life’s transitions.
I am uniquely qualified to support teens and adolescents. I worked in a variety of settings with teens and all levels of care (school based, outpatient, group, and residential). I have worked with clients on a variety of issues that teens deal with including but not limited to anxiety, depression, social issues, bullying, gender identity, sexual identity, grief, and personality disorders. Often with teens, I use a combination approach of allowing them to process events, thoughts and feelings while also working on skills based training so kids leave treatment with the skills they will need to navigate their lives. I am passionate about seeing teens thrive and work through the obstacles they experience to being successful in their lives.
I am passionate about working with clients to support overall health and wellbeing. I believe it is possible for everyone to live a satisfying life. I use creativity in my practice to approach problems that people have worked years to resolve with no success. I use a combination of therapeutic techniques to support my clients in meeting their goals. Complex problems require creative solutions and I feel it is my responsibility to inspire my clients to move in the direction of health.
One of my main personal and professional goals over the years has been to create a positive connection with anyone who comes in contact with me. As a result, I have developed an easy manner and it allows me to connect with clients and make them comfortable. The therapeutic relationship is the single most important part of the process. I never forget the courage it takes to work on oneself and feel honored to support people on their journey to create a satisfying life.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Alecia Beaudry. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Alecia is kind, caring, attentive, and so very instrumental to my growth and well being!
Alecia has been a major factor in changing my perspective on life after an emotionally abusive relationship exploited all the things I blacked out during my childhood. I’ve worked with her for a year - throughout which we addressed Narcissistic Abuse (parental and relationship), lack of boundaries, people pleasing, emotional awareness, self confidence, life goals, childhood trauma and life transitions. Not once did I feel uncomfortable or judged. I felt heard. Alecia would recall topics from prior sessions and help me see how they related to the new topic of the week which helped me to identify my own patterns whether I was the victim or the bad guy. She understands that there is more than one way to skin a cat, there is no one way to get it right, and helped tremendously with keeping me focused on my goals. She did so without me feeling like I was on an assignment or completing a project. It all flowed naturally. I’m a completely new person mentally and my emotional IQ is higher than it’s ever been. I feel safe in this world now and so lucky that I found her.
I chose to work with Alecia based on her particular areas of expertise and due to the excellent reviews she had received. I can hand on heart say that working with her has been one of the best decisions of my life; this is my first experience of regular therapy and the benefits are already joyously apparent.
Alecia is warm, kind, profession and makes it easy to discuss sensitive issues, guiding gently where needed.
I would highly recommend Alecia to absolutely everyone!
Alecia is a very caring individual who listens very well and offers a lot of advice, but never forces it upon you. Mostly she tries to meet you where you are and then give advice after. She respects your time as well. Very awesome.
She is great
Still in the beginning phases. But the times I’ve spoken with Alecia she completely understands what I am trying to convey. She has offered great suggestions for my partner and me. Looking forward to continue working with her.
We feel very lucky that we got matched with Alecia! She is super easy to talk to, very understanding and empathetic, has great advice and usually a helpful new perspective to offer and has been knowledgeable in every area we needed help with so far. She also has a great sense of humor. We love working with her and feel better and more hopeful after every session. Thank you so much, Alecia!
Alecia is always really good at maintaining a conversation with me and to keep me thinking about what is going on. She has a gift for getting me to speak up about any thing and everything and getting to the point of what I bring up.
I usually come with. I have this emotion/ this triggered me/ I’m feeling this was. She’s so good at leading me into exploring the root cause.
I really enjoy talking with Alecia. She really understands what I need to talk about each session and helps me process difficult situations
A very economical way to stay half-way sane.
Alecia is a great therapist. She's helped me through a lot of issues I've had. Working with Alecia is the best things that's happened to me in a long time.
Alicia is helpful and responds timely
Alecia is very easy to talk to. She gives me tools and helps with my perspective! I’m very happy with her.
I have previously found therapy challenging because I never felt comfortable enough with anyone to be completely honest. All my issues, all my ugly out on the table. But Alecia has made me feel so comfortable and safe that I can truly get help for things I’ve buried for so long. It’s been very helpful for my every day life and I have tools to manage stressful situations when they come up
Alecia is very realistic and understanding of the modern and ever changing world and has some great tips on how to deal with difficult situations - she is very warm and very easy to talk to and get along with without feeling judged
Alecia makes therapy sessions fun and relaxing - which is not something I had anticipated. She goes out of her way to understand the best way to work with you and asks all the right questions to make you think deeper about how to overcome your roadblocks and issues.
She is absolutely amazing and has helped in ways that no one else could.
Alecia is very patient and creative in finding ways to help. Even when I’ve not done the homework I promised to do, she finds ways to motivate me and make me feel positive and hopeful.
Alecia is very knowledgable and easy to talk to. She creates a space where I can express my feelings openly and without judgement. She validates me and guides me to make positive change. I'm very thankful for teencounseling.com and the support I can get from the comfort of my own home :)
Alecia has been nothing short of kind, positive, and extremely encouraging through my counseling journey. I've gone through counseling twice before and have never had any luck getting past the second session until meeting and talking with Alecia. I'm grateful for teencounseling.com and what it has done for me.
Alecia is amazing!!!! She's so sweet and above all she is so real, which I greatly appreciate!! She's really good at making you feel conformable to talk about anything, and you want to talk to her because you can tell she really does care and is listening with intention. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!
Alecia has been doing a wonderful job of helping me tackle some negative events that have really put my mental health at risk. She’s very supportive and very good at framing things in a way that help me to understand situations from a different angle. While this journey has just begun for me, I feel confident in the progress I’ll be able to make with Alecia helping me through.
Alecia is extremely supportive and helpful. She listens and gives great feedback that has made me see things in a different light. I would recommend her to anyone.
Alecia is meeting me where I am at and I appreciate her for that. My experience has been useful and good so far.
Alecia is an extremely good listener and so supportive. She offers a variety of ways to improve mental health and I have thoroughly benefited from her.
Very pleased so far
