My name is Dr. Alexander Kohl and I have over ten years experience working with a wide variety of mental health concerns. I received my PhD in clinical psychology with a specialization in neuropsychology. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment so my clients feel safe and heard while discussing difficult issues.

Struggling to find balance in your life? Between the demands of school, career, home, and family, it can seem nearly impossible to manage the stress, emotions, and responsibilities that accompany these daily.

The overwhelming feeling of self-doubt, low self-esteem and concerns of failure are making you feel like you are drowning and have no way out. The simple tasks of daily life become hard to handle, getting out of bed is impossible and the constant worry, the inability to relax and the gut wrenching fear in your stomach seem to shatter your identity. You desperately want to feel better but you're afraid. Will you be able to trust someone without feeling judged? Will someone even be able to help?

Many people go through life and encounter hardships and obstacles that at times may seem impossible to overcome. You deserve a nonjudgmental, supportive guide to walk that path with you for as long as you may need. Utilizing a humanistic lens, I strive to create a safe and supportive space using empathy and acceptance in order for clients to gain valuable insight, identify strengths, realize their capabilities, and heal.

I am optimistic, that there is resolution towards concerns and issues affecting positive functioning.
