Alistarr Helmick, AMFT

Alistarr specializes in supporting adults, and couples navigating addiction, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. With a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and trauma-informed approach, Alistarr creates a safe space for clients while also taking a direct, honest, and practical approach to therapy. Clients can expect empathy, thoughtful challenge, and concrete tools to support meaningful change. She uses evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and the Gottman Method. Treatment focuses on understanding patterns, developing healthier coping skills, processing trauma, improving communication, and strengthening relationships. For clients struggling with addiction, Alistarr helps identify triggers, address underlying issues, build accountability, and develop sustainable strategies for recovery. She believes therapy should be both supportive and action-oriented. By combining compassion with direct feedback and practical interventions, she helps clients move beyond simply managing symptoms toward greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, lasting recovery, and meaningful personal growth.
