Mind Journey Therapy, PLLC

I take pride in this achievement and the high standard of training and expertise it offers to individuals grappling with this challenging mental health condition. If you or someone you know is dealing with OCD or suspects they may be, help is within reach. Obsessions can often be accompanied by feelings of shame and fear, but a skilled clinician understands that you are not defined by your obsessions. They can provide normalization, validation, and support on the journey towards recovery.

Mind Journey Therapy is excited to welcome Alicia Chase, LCSW & Alicia Kaufman-Bernhardt, LCSW, Master CASAC, to the practice.

Alicia Chase, LCSW, has over a decade of experience and expertise in the treatment of a variety of mental health challenges. Alicia incorporates a variety of evidenced based practices in her therapy practice from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Alicia Kaufman-Bernhardt, LCSW, Master CASAC, comes to our practice with over 10 years in a clinic setting specializing in the treatment of addictions and a variety of mental health challenges. Alicia is also certified to work with individuals who are in need of a mandated NYS assessment as a result of DUI or DWI.

Both of these clinicians are accepting new patients. Please feel free to reach out to the practice regarding any questions you may have. You can also read more about these clinicians on our webpage.

We are here to help you navigate life challenges with compassion and care.

Mental health matters!

👉Here are some facts:

▶Depression is a common illness affecting over 5% of adults across the world.
▶And, did you know our mental and physical health are interlinked; for instance, cardiovascular disease can result in depression and vice versa.
▶+ People with severe mental health conditions are more likely to die earlier than the general population, often due to preventable physical illnesses.

Let's give physical and mental health equal priority.

When we are in community with others, it is important that we continually create conditions where those around us feel safe. Some of these opportunities for safety may look like small acts, but each small action of support and care builds upon the last, creating a safer world for all.

Learn more about creating safety for those around us following prolonged experiences of trauma in the Traumatic Stress Studies Certificate program.
