I have 19 yrs of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in various settings including in-home, school-based and outpatient settings. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, ADHD, ODD and well as trauma and abuse. I believe that all individuals are capable of change and that all individuals are just that, individuals, not a label or diagnosis.

I am Kimberly Alexander and I believe it is a privilege to serve my community as a helping professional. I believe life continuously evolves and change is inevitable. When accepting a client I believe they have the capacity to resolve their own problems with my assistance. I believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives. I see counseling as a way of finding solutions, exploring possibilities, and facilitating self-discovery that leads to a more productive and happy life.

I have worked with youth and families in varying capacities throughout my professional career. I have extensive experience in the area of behavioral health for school-aged youth. Working as a school-based therapist for many years before moving into the classroom to teach middle school, my understanding of youth across settings provides insight into helping them be successful at home, school, and in the community. The belief that youth deserve to be heard and offered assistance in developmentally appropriate ways is the underpinning of my professional practice.

“It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.” – John Joseph Powell I enter every counseling session with the mindset embodied in this quote. I once heard it said that every child who winds up doing well has had at least one stable rela­tionship with a supportive adult. At the heart of what I do is a desire to be a caring, supportive person in my clients’ lives that allows them to develop resilience and recognize their own self-worth.

This is not the life you pictured, is it? You know things need to change but have no idea where to start. Being a human in this fast-paced society is quite difficult and often times heartbreaking. I strive to place the therapeutic relationship as my primary focus, because until someone feels authentically accepted, change is not going to be possible.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.” – Helen Keller

Often, people are daunted by the prospect of changing feelings, behaviors, and patterns that may have long histories, or that have resisted previous efforts. I firmly believe therapy offers solid reasons to have hope, as one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is the time and space for healing and growth. Our work will consider the various intersecting aspects of your identity and the social, professional, and other cultural contexts in which you exist. I believe that as you experience yourself holistically, on your own and with guidance, you can naturally open yourself to more opportunities for healing, connection & growth.
