Ms Alice Bentley

Psychotherapist

“Experienced and compassionate psychotherapist specializing in family of origin, trauma, addiction issues, PTSD, and adult children of narcissistic or borderline parents.”

About Me

As a BC-LPC, CPCS psychotherapist, I offer compassionate support. I specialise in helping adults navigate complex family of origin issues, trauma, and addiction. I understand the lasting impact of PTSD and growing up with narcissistic or borderline parents. Here, you can explore challenging experiences with gentle guidance. You will find a supportive environment to process your past and build resilience.

Approach

Healing often begins when patterns from early family life are slowed down and explored with curiosity rather than blame. In sessions—whether in my Alpharetta office or online in English—I listen closely, help map triggers and relational loops, and pace work so you can tolerate memories and test new ways of relating. Between appointments I offer practical skills and brief checkpoints to reinforce insight and track shifts. This approach tends to suit adults and couples ready to understand roots and build steady change.
