In this insightful episode, hosts Tashia Richards and Ashley Davies welcome Alicia-Ann Samual, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist, and Founder of Therapeutically Beautiful LLC. On this episode, they will discuss developmental delays and how to navigate the system.
Alicia-Ann Samuel is a Caribbean-American, proudly neurodivergent “boy mom” to two toddlers, a devoted aunty, older sister, and daughter. As a licensed mental health counselor practicing in both Florida and New Jersey with over 10 years of experience, she’s the visionary behind Therapeutically Beautiful LLC. She serves as executive director of her newly launched nonprofit Grounded Giggles Inc., clinical supervisor of the Journey Institute Inc., and chair of the Florida Association for Infant Mental Health Broward chapter—all while
finishing up her doctorate. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help others find beauty amidst their chaos and rediscover the power within their healing journey.
