I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) with advanced training in trauma and mindfulness. Before opening my private practice, I worked in forensic and community settings supporting clients involved with the justice system, those affected by interpersonal violence, and people navigating substance use and recovery.
My practice focuses on trauma, addiction, and personality-related challenges, with additional experience addressing mood instability, codependency, identity development, and relationship patterns. I provide inclusive, affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.
I approach therapy with curiosity, humor, and honesty, offering space to explore patterns, build self-trust, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am Alexander Linderman, LCPC, NCC, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II). Since beginning my counseling internship in July 2021, I have accumulated nearly five years of clinical experience helping adults and couples who look fine on the outside but quietly carry anxiety that will not quit, PTSD symptoms, relationship strain, depression, grief, burnout, or faith-related stress. Many of my clients are professionals, parents, and partners who have tried to push through on their own and are now ready for real, lasting change.
My style is direct yet warm, inquisitive, and gently challenging. I combine advanced trauma expertise with practical, evidence-based tools so you can move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling calm, connected, and in control. When it fits your values and goals, I can integrate Christian faith-based perspectives in a respectful, non-judgmental way to support deeper healing and meaning.
You do not have to carry this alone anymore. If you want a trauma-informed counselor who delivers measurable progress instead of endless talking, you are in the right place.
