More About Alicia Murray:
Alicia Murray, LMHC, LPC, NCC opened her private practice in 2019 when she realized that community mental health wasn’t going to offer what she needed or wanted in terms of balancing her career as a therapist with her desire to be a mom. In 2021, she began scaling her private practice into a group practice, and starting in 2024, began publishing guides, workbooks, and courses to help other therapists achieve their own time and financial freedom through private practice. Through it all, she has remained the primary caregiver for her two boys while balancing entrepreneurship.
