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.
