Alycia also specializes in child and adolescent mental health. In her private work, Alycia provides individual and family therapy for children and adults. She utilizes animal assisted interactions with her certified therapy dog, Cyrus Bean. Cyrus and Alycia work together to help children with learning appropriate social skills, personal space, and safe hands and safe body.

If you are allergic to, or are not comfortable around dogs, Cyrus and Alycia may not be the best therapeutic team for you.
