Alicen Halquist, MA, LPC, SEP, DARe
Alicen is an accomplished trauma resolution and attachment expert, therapist and trainer. In her position as faculty instructor for Somatic Experiencing (SETI/FHE), and DARe (Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning) she utilizes a wide range of skills derived in her 25 years of practice of psychotherapy and clinical consultation in the treatment of symptoms and the training of professionals in the areas of trauma and attachment.
Services
Alicen draws upon her years of experience to address the needs of individuals, groups, professional trainees and those tasked with management of treatment facilities. Her private practice services include individual psychotherapy sessions, case consultations and program development.
Following your initial consultation with Alicen, she can provide recommendations and more detail as to specific needs, services and timing.
She draws on the SE, DARe & PACT Models in her practice to address the neurological/physiological underpinnings of pre-verbal and/or sub-psychological attachment trauma. This understanding is instrumental in treating adults, advocating for children and helping care providers and educators understand how to attend in a way that brings about nervous system re-regulation.
Alicen integrates a deep mindfulness approach, informed by eastern philosophy, meditation practice, yoga, dance/creative arts therapy, family life with her husband and two children, and a belief that healing trauma can give us direct access to spiritual expansion.
