Alena Krawczynski

Throughout my life, helping others heal has always been my passion. I started out at Texas A&M University with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, and went on to complete my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at UTSA. During my internship, I worked with St. PJ's Foster Home and Children's Bereavement Center, which gave me valuable experience in working with those populations. Now with 5 years of experience as a counselor, I utilize play therapy, sandtray therapy, and behavioral techniques to assist children and adolescents of all ages to meet their and family members' goals. I offer parent coaching from an authoritative/Montessori framework. I have a background in treating trauma with TF-CBT and other creative outlets. While my specialty is working with minors, I also treat adults with backgrounds of trauma and/or anxious/depressive symptoms.

My approach to therapy is working in partnership with my clients. You are the expert on you, and I am simply here to guide you through your decision-making when it comes to achieving your goals and on your healing journey.

Clients and families can expect to take away new perspectives and frameworks from our sessions, as well as concrete tools to move about in the world.
