Aalia Solomon, LCMHC-A(She/Her/Hers)

Aalia Solomon is an Associate Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHCA) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) based in North Carolina. She works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, eating disorders, and major life transitions. Aalia frequently supports high-achieving individuals who may appear successful externally yet feel overwhelmed, disconnected from their bodies, or caught in rigid patterns around food, control, and self-worth.

Aalia has a particular clinical interest in the treatment of eating disorders including concerns related to restriction, binge eating, emotional eating, body image distress, and perfectionism. Many of her clients struggle with the mental and emotional toll of food rules, body dissatisfaction, and chronic self-criticism, often alongside anxiety, burnout, or mood concerns. She approaches eating disorder treatment with sensitivity to both the psychological and physiological components of these conditions, emphasizing safety, attunement, and sustainable change.

Her work is especially informed by evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Radically-open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT), and mindfulness-based interventions. Aalia helps clients explore the underlying beliefs, emotions, and coping strategies that maintain disordered eating patterns, while gently supporting the development of flexibility, body trust, and more adaptive ways of responding to stress. She also integrates a nutrition-informed, whole-person perspective, recognizing the bidirectional relationship between nourishment, nervous system regulation, and mental health, while remaining within the ethical scope of mental health counseling. Her therapeutic style is collaborative. She challenges unhelpful patterns, and supports clients in reshaping their internal narrative in ways that promote self-compassion, resilience, and long-term recovery.

Above all, Aalia prioritizes creating a therapeutic relationship in which clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. Through Nurivae Psychotherapy, PLLC, she offers fully virtual counseling services, allowing clients to access consistent, specialized care in a way that feels accessible and supportive of their daily lives.
