About me
Hello and welcome.. I'm Amy Alexander, an experienced Integrative Psychotherapist with over 26 years in private practice. My work is grounded in building a safe, trusting relationship where you can explore whatever is bringing you to therapy without judgement. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, struggling with difficult emotions, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, I offer a space where you can be heard, understood, and supported
I believe that every person's story is unique, and therapy should reflect that. I have worked with supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, eating disorders, body image concerns, and life transitions. I also have indepth understanding of PTSD, and CSA.
My approach is collaborative, and tailored to you as an individual.
