Therapy with Alex G

About Alex


The go-to therapist for those ready to take action.

Nice to meet you, I’m Alex.

A pre-licensed psychotherapist, life-long learner, and perfectly-imperfect human. I help people break unsupportive patterns, get unstuck from cycles of fear and worry, and reconnect to their lives.

I know what it’s like to struggle and feel utterly alone in what you are experiencing. Though things may seem like a lot right now, I know how to help you through this.

Whether for the first or the 100th time, seeking therapy can feel scary and intimidating. However, it is my job to make the uncomfortable comfortable and support you through whatever is going on.

You’ve already been dealing with so much, but you don’t have to feel this way. You deserve better.

Join me and take the next step to invest in your mental health.

Get To Know Me.

 
  • Cultivate curiosity. Push into vulnerability. Take supportive and positive risks. Be open and honest with those you love, and know that it's okay not to be okay.

  • What happens to us and how we perceive our experiences are two different things. Life is painful but it is in our thoughts that we suffer.

  • Practicing being present and enjoying each moment. Acknowledging and accepting how I feel. Finding alignment between my internal and external self.

  • We can never predict or know everything. The best we can do is make the right choices for ourselves at the time we are making them.

 

Background

My journey toward becoming a therapist began during my undergraduate education, where I became fascinated by the profound impact our mental health can have on our physical well-being. As someone who has struggled with anxiety and fear for much of my life, understanding the mind helped me heal my relationship with the parts of myself that I disparaged and shamed. Engaging in therapy also had a profound impact on my sense of self, awareness, and internal strength. These experiences ultimately led me to pursue a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology. As a therapist, I feel honored to be able to help others find increased fulfillment and joy within their lives by navigating through the hard stuff, not around it. During my psychotherapy training, I worked with LGBTQIA+ identifying individuals and co-led a weekly Transgender Support Group.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy adventuring around town, spending time with friends and family, doing yoga and pilates, painting, and reading.
