Alice Congdon , LPCC

Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 13 years of experience in the helping professions. She has worked across a variety of settings including clients' homes, schools, workplaces, and traditional office environments, and has held roles such as Personal Care Assistant, Job Coach, Direct Service Professional, Mental Health Practitioner, in-patient therapist, and outpatient therapist.

Alice's clinical experience includes internships in a chemical dependency rehabilitation facility that served minority women as well as placements in multiple K-12 schools. Those varied roles inform a collaborative, person-centered approach that addresses the whole of a person's life and how different areas contribute to overall functioning. She draws most heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while also using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, existential perspectives, multicultural approaches, motivational interviewing, and family-based techniques as needed.

She has extensive experience helping people manage depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship conflicts, and life transitions, and she has worked with bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, hoarding, grief and loss, and spiritual concerns. In sessions she supports clients to develop insight and translate that understanding into daily, weekly, and longer term goals, fostering motivation and hope. Alice emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives and that treatment goals and interventions reflect each person's priorities. Her role is to offer empathy and a non-judgmental atmosphere while collaborating on practical steps forward.

Alice provides video and phone sessions during evening hours and offers messaging and live chat during morning and afternoon sessions as well as other available times.
