Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I'm Alicia Garber

Clinical counselor and owner at Inner Fire Counseling. 

I started this private practice because of the need for LGBTQIA2S+ community to have a safe space to explore themselves. From your gender identity, sexual identity, gender expression and more. Being part of the community I've had quite a few medical and mental health professionals treat me unjustly because of my identity. It's not okay to provide bad care because someone's beliefs don't align with yours! 


I am an ex-pat from the U.S. living in the Netherlands since 2023. Trying to find community in a new country with new languages, foods, smells, sights, and sounds is beyond overwhelming. It's okay to miss home and yet want to build a new community. 


I've had quite the history of concussions to arteriovenous malformation (AVM) which I am now considered a unicorn for how rare that happens. I understand the unique challenges of a disability and how debilitating that can be as I've had to relearn to walk and talk again. If you're tired of the same old song and dance and want to be treated like a person not a diagnosis or label, you've come to the right place. 


Let's stoke that inner fire to rise from the ashes like a phoenix-stronger than ever!
