Alexa Powell

I strive to offer you a space that can help you feel heard, respected, and emotionally safe. As a clinical social worker, I work with teens 13+, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and everyday stress related to life, school, and work. There's no doubt that starting therapy can be scary or uncomfortable. I will always take great care in building an affirming, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment specifically for you to through things like persistent or excessive worry, self‐esteem, anger, stress, and coping skills.

My therapeutic approach is guided by respect, patience, and empathy, and aims to help you realize your innate strengths, build resilience, and cultivate self-trust and self-compassion. I meet each person with a tailored approach, honoring each individual's unique personality and experience. Together, we can explore and enhance your current strengths while unlocking inner strengths that have yet to flourish.

I will always work to meet you with an affirming attitude and an emotionally comfortable environment. During our first session, we'll discuss what you hope to achieve in therapy, explore the challenges you are working through, and set realistic goals. You can expect for me to ask you some questions, including things like you what brings you into therapy, if you have any goals or something specific you want to work towards, and what you hope to get out of therapy sessions overall. You'll also have the opportunity to ask me the questions you might have, too!
