healing belongs to you.
Therapy for queer/LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodivergent teens and adults navigating trauma, eating disorder recovery, and chronic illness.
Therapy for complex humans with complex bodies.
Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too much.”
Or maybe you’ve spent years trying to figure out why life feels harder for you than it seems for everyone else.
Many of my clients—especially queer and neurodivergent teens and adults—come to therapy exhausted from trying to make themselves fit in systems that were never built for them.
Trauma. Identity. Relationships. Chronic illness. A brain that does its own thing.
It’s a lot to carry alone.
You don’t have to.
Alicia Weller, MA, NCC, LPC
Hey!
I’m Alicia Weller (she/they)!
As a queer and neurodivergent therapist in eating disorder recovery and living with chronic illness, I bring both clinical training and lived experience into the therapy room.
I also understand how complicated it can be to live in a body that doesn’t always behave the way you want it to—whether that’s through chronic illness, disability, or the long-term effects of stress and trauma.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and curious. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a space where you can be honest, messy, and human without having to explain or justify who you are.
There’s room here for depth, humor, and the real work of healing.

The ✨vibe✨ I bring to the therapy room:
Human, Relaxed, & Real
Therapy with me is chill and conversational. We’re two humans in the room. I use humor, pop culture, and what’s happening in the world to make sessions feel grounded, relatable, and real.
Curious and Direct
I’ll wonder with you, ask questions, and stay genuinely curious. I’ll also be naming what’s being avoided, missed, or danced around. Compassion and honesty live side by side here.
Flexible & Creative
Therapy works when your nervous system is cared for and not constantly overwhelmed. We’ll slow down, shift, or adapt as needed so your system feels supported, not pushed.
I am currently based in Austin, Texas. I offer virtual services for anyone in Texas and in-person services located in North Austin.
You might be navigating…
• Exploring gender identity or sexuality
• Navigating ADHD, autism, or neurodivergence
• Recovering from disordered eating or a difficult relationship with food and your body
• Living with chronic illness, disability, or a body that doesn’t always cooperate
• Working through trauma or painful past experiences
• Feeling burnt out from masking or trying to hold everything together
Feels familiar? You’re in the right place.
Therapy that meets you where you’re at, and gently challenges you to step towards where you want to be.
I Specialize In…
LGBTQIA2S+ identity exploration & gender-affirming transitions
Neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, sensory needs)
Chronic illness, chronic pain, POTS, hEDS, CRPS, medical trauma
Eating disorders + body-image work (HAES®-aligned)
Mood disorders, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Bipolar Disorder, Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD)
Religious trauma and those unlearning harmful narratives and beliefs
Low self-esteem, inner-child wounds, shame, and self-doubt
Depression, loneliness, and feeling “behind” in life
Anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout, particularly in high-stress performers, creatives, and artists
How I Help…
My approach is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in curiosity- not compliance or shame. I use a blend of relational, trauma-responsive, and body-based approaches including:
DBT for emotion regulation and coping skills
ACT for moving toward values with compassion
IFS informed / Parts Work for understanding your inner world
Trauma informed therapy for nervous-system support
HAES®-aligned, body-liberation frameworks
Somatic approaches for reconnecting with your body
The goal isn’t to “fix” you. It’s to help you build a life that feels aligned, possible, nourishing, and worth living.
In practice, this looks like…
Building skills to managing anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and burnout
Creating sustainable routines that support your mental health
Exploring identity, gender, and neurodivergence in a safe space
Strengthening nervous-system regulation + emotional resilience
Healing your relationship with your body and internal parts
