We are excited to share that one of our previous Licensed Clinical Therapists has published a book! Alicea Ardito joined OAC in June of 2020 and began her own journey of starting her private practice the following December. Alicea specializes in working with older adults, “the sandwich generation”, adults who are caring for both aging parents and their children and has a strong knowledge of psychopharmacology in the therapeutic environment.
Empowerful offers a practical, compassionate approach to meaningful change—without relying on unrealistic expectations, willpower, or one-size-fits-all advice.
Through three simple stages—Assess. Align. Activate.—you’ll learn to understand the patterns shaping your life, create strategies that fit your reality, and turn insight into lasting action. With practical exercises, real-world examples, and evidence-based strategies, Empowerful helps you move forward with greater clarity, intention, and confidence.
Because meaningful change doesn’t require becoming a different person. It starts with understanding the person you already are.
You can find this book for purchase on Amazon! Congrats, Alicea on all of your accomplishments! -OAC Family
