Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Alexander Osterman, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years in mental health and 6 years in private practice. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, children, and couples. A distinctive aspect of my practice is incorporating Stoic philosophy, which offers timeless wisdom. By blending Stoic principles with modern therapeutic techniques, I help clients develop a robust mental framework to face adversities and cultivate inner strength and tranquility.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is centered on creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. By integrating Existential Therapy, I assist clients in finding meaning and purpose in their lives, encouraging them to confront life's inherent challenges with courage and authenticity.

What you can expect from me

In sessions, you'll find a supportive and non-judgmental space. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy with Stoic philosophy, providing tools to manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and life transitions. You'll develop resilience, inner strength, and practical strategies for personal growth. Together, we'll identify and change negative thought patterns, find meaning, and create actionable steps to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.
