PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH JODI ALIEKSAITES, MA, LPC
Welcome to my website. I am happy that you found me & I hope my site answers most of your questions.
"A Light in Dark Places" does not imply shining light to dispel the darkness, but rather that the dark places are a source of wisdom, a source of healing & the unconscious, which includes embodied patterning in the body, mind & spirit. In short, yin to the yang...internal to the external...both are integral & essential.
I am a Psychotherapist practicing in Boulder Colorado specializing in Body-Centered Contemplative Psychotherapy & Grief Counseling.
I consider myself a transitionist ("Someone skilled at coping with or managing transition...") & I enjoy working with:
--People in transition or who are wanting to initiate a transition/change, letting go of what is keeping them stuck/holding them back.
--People who identify with being introverted or highly sensitive become more confident with their in-born gifts.
--People who want to alter life course, create more boundaries or slow down, work less, reorganize life values & priorities, etc.
--People who want to engage paradigm shifts &/or live unconventionally, out-of-the-box or differently from the way they were raised.
--Young people & College students who want to direct their life with attention & intention.
--Introverts struggling with pandemic transitions.
I'm looking for clients who want to learn how to:
--Engage curiosity in pursuit of positive change & healing.
--Open up to working with the body & movement as well as the mind & thoughts as a source of wisdom.
--Interrupt self-aggression & move into gentleness, self-care & self-attunement.
--Experiment with the power of thoughts & words as tool for change & growth.
I help clients transform emotional and psychological blockages, integrate wounded parts of the themselves & become centered in SELF by addressing issues such as: Anxiety & Stress, Panic Attacks, Grief & Loss, Life Changes, Poor Sleep, Limiting Beliefs & Intrusive Thoughts, Low Self-Worth, Anger, Shame, Poor Boundaries, Feelings of Numbness/Disconnection from Self & Others.
Also, I enjoy working with Highly Sensitive people, Empaths, Psychics & those who see & hear things most others don't see/hear.
I work with Individuals 19 & up as well as Groups, all genders, all religions, all sexual orientations.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR WORK TOGETHER
Contact me through my contact page & let me know a little about what you're looking for & any questions you may have. I will respond to let you know if I have any open spots for new clients & we'll go from there to schedule a first session.
Prior to your first session there is paperwork that can be completed online. The paperwork starts to help me understand your history and what you want to be working on as well as providing you information on privacy policies, cancellation policies, etc.
Also, for those who are open to it, I like to calculate your astrology chart to look for any important patterns. Please note: this doesn't mean I'll be reading your chart to you unless you'd like that to be part of your therapy journey with me.
I do like to meet new clients in person for a full session to really see if we can do some good work together. I want your first session to be as close to a "real" regular session as possible even with going over paperwork, so that you have something to take away right from the start of our work together.
After the first session if everything is feeling like "a go" I like to give clients an appointment time that is YOUR SPOT until either one of us needs to reschedule. This allows both of us to relax & avoid the need to wrestle with scheduling every week. This is also my way of communicating to you from the start that you are a priority to me & I will be showing up for the work you would like to do.
Therapy is work for both you & me. It's essential that we focus on what you want to work on, what's important to you in your life. There will be assignments to focus on between sessions as well. I tend to err on the side of providing more psycho-education rather than less. It's of value to me to share with you my process particularly when it comes to assignments. I prefer to see clients weekly & in person when possible with our schedules.

“I said: what about my eyes?
He said: Keep them on the road.
I said: What about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning.
I said: What about my heart?
He said: Tell me what you hold inside it?
I said: Pain and sorrow.
He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
