Hi there! My name is Alice Kuhns, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist licensed to practice in California, supervised by Isabelle Futsi, LMFT. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve our vibrant community. It is nice to virtually meet you!
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
I would describe myself as an eclectic therapist, blending various theoretical orientations to meet the unique needs of each client. My foundation is relational and attachment-based, rooted in the belief that the quality of our therapeutic relationship is central to healing. Incorporating Relational Therapy, I focus on developing authentic relationships, understanding cultural impacts, and using empathy to overcome isolation and build resilience. I view therapy as a collaborative journey, where your self-knowledge and wisdom are paramount. Together, we will work towards fostering self-compassion, gaining self-insight, and developing practical skills that empower you to thrive independently.
My clinical experience is primarily focused on working with teens and young adults navigating themes of identity, self-esteem, and trauma. I have a particular passion for supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals, and I approach my work with a strong commitment to anti-racist and anti-oppressive values. Utilizing a trauma-informed lens, I ensure that our work together acknowledges and addresses the impact of past trauma on your present experience. As a highly sensitive person myself, I am attuned to the unique challenges and strengths of highly sensitive individuals.
Previous clients have shared that they appreciate my warmth, acceptance, and genuine engagement. In our work together, I strive to create a brave and inclusive space where all parts of you are welcome.
If you want a little glimpse into my personality, I am an amalgamation of love for my cats, video games, and musicals. I look forward to hearing from you.
