I am glad you are here.
The weight you are carrying is real. It may be the pain of the past, the pressures of daily life, or the lack of something indescribable. Over time you may have begun to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and ashamed for not being able to keep up with it all.
You don’t have to carry that weight alone anymore.
“We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become.”
-Carl Jung
Alaina Borra, Licensed Social Worker
Psychotherapist, Psychedelic Integration Therapist
I aim to tailor my therapeutic approach to your individual needs and circumstances. Therapy should be about YOU and starts with compassion and understanding. Everything you bring to my office is welcome.
I will draw from a variety of influences in our work together including transpersonal psychology, client centered approaches, IFS, Eastern and Western philosophy, emotion theory, and process oriented skills.
Together we will explore tools and frameworks to help you connect more deeply to your own inner wisdom, bringing increased self-compassion, freedom, and peace to your daily life.

I am committed to honoring each of my clients as a whole person through a non-pathologizing and trauma informed lens. I believe that even our most challenging feelings and patterns are a result of an attempt to cope with an often unbearable environment. The parts of us that dealt with this pain are worthy of our listening, respect, and love.
I recognize the immense harm of systems of oppression and acknowledge that each individual is impacted differently based on their unique intersectionality. I am committed to honoring our differences and placing you as the expert in your own story, while continuing to do my part to increase my awareness of stories that differ from my own.
