Alexandra Okeke, LPC-S is a dedicated therapist with a rich background in both educational and clinical settings. With a fervent commitment to empowering people of color and underrepresented communities, Alex has forged a career path driven by compassion and cultural understanding. Alex's therapeutic approach is multifaceted, drawing from trauma-informed care, yoga and mindfulness practices, EMDR, CBT, and systems theory. Her inclusive methodology fosters healing and resilience, acknowledging the complex intersections of identity and experience.
Alex graduated Summa Cum Laude with a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Addiction Counseling. The majority of her graduate work focused on addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety. She has also earned her EMDR certification for trauma counseling and is a Certified Yoga Instructor. I also offer Supervision for LPC-As.
