Hi! Alexa here :) I'm a clinical social worker with nearly 10 years of experience assisting adolescents, adults, and families from a therapeutic and crisis standpoint. I have extensive training in CBT and family systems, and am certified in DBT and TF-CBT.
I work with individuals who may be experiencing difficulty with managing their mental health. This could be related to past/ongoing trauma, stress, life changes, grief, family or relational conflict, etc. Initial sessions with me are based on YOUR pace/comfort. I strive to build rapport and get to know each other while exploring more surface-level information before delving into the deeper issues.
I typically utilize elements of CBT and motivational interviewing during my first few sessions. After gathering initial information and assessing goals/what you would like to get out of therapy, I begin to personalize and cater my approach with additional modalities dependent upon your individual wants/needs.
