ALICE PENCAVEL (she/her) LMSW

I am grounded in the belief that we have the intrinsic capacity to heal. I am committed to supporting the development of compassion, wakefulness, and ease, in response to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and unresolved trauma.

As a trained yoga teacher and practicing Zen Buddhist, I view physical/spiritual health, mindfulness practice, and engagement with philosophical inquiry to be the pillars for emotional well-being. With a robust background as a playwright, I draw on my writing practice and the innate creativity of my clients as guides along the healing journey.

Trained in EMDR and TF-CBT, my approach to therapy is collaborative, trauma-informed, and creative. I am a certified End of Life Doula, with experience working in hospitals as a Spiritual Care provider, assisting patients and their loved ones through grief, crises, and transition. I find nurturing a connection to nature to be a tremendous resource for healing. As a queer person, I understand the necessity of cultivating brave, inclusive spaces, and I believe dismantling oppressive frameworks is integral to the intimate task of personal growth.
