Blue Shield Therapists in Woodbridge, VA

As a Resident in Counseling, I am passionate about quality, compassionate, patient-centered care emphasizing cultural competency and underserved populations. Experience working with various populations helping to treat issues from grief, anxiety, and trauma. When appropriate, I incorporate art into my therapeutic sessions and am committed to helping my clients cultivate a space for healing and growth. My methodology includes mindfulness, positive psychology along with cognitive behavioral therapy. A focus on a collaborative approach to helping empower my clients to set and reach their therapeutic goals.

I enjoy working with clients to address various challenges including anxiety, infidelity, communication issues in relationships, boundaries, work issues, anger management, and other challenges. In my more than 15 years of practice, I have found that I especially love working with individuals with sexual behavior issues and couples at any stage of their relationship. I also enjoy doing Christian counseling with individuals and couples who are seeking it to overcome the challenges they are facing. While I primarily work with adults, I have also worked with teens.

I believe in working in partnership with clients, utilizing their inner strengths to help them sort out their challenges in order to achieve their goals. My passion is helping individuals, families and couples to learn how to rebuild their lives and relationships by overcoming obstacles.

I also work with concerns including LGBTQ+ specific issues, substance use, life transitions, grief and loss, family issues, racial stressors, and issues or trauma related to religion or spirituality. Keeping emotional pain to yourself can feel burdensome. I believe everyone deserves a safe space to discuss thoughts, feelings, and beliefs without fear of judgment.

I believe that therapy should be something you look forward to and that laughter qualifies as a therapeutic intervention. I believe in setting goals and tracking progress – why go to therapy without results? I believe that our connections to ourselves and with each other are rooted not only in the mind, but also in the body, so I use body-based interventions like grounding, breathwork, and mindfulness. My treatment approach is flexible, but I lean toward clinically tested and evidence-based therapies.

My unconditional passion for the Mental Health field is beyond measures. I have worked with a dynamic age range, but mostly specialize in the ages of 11-35 years of age.

My motto for all my clients is that I do not have a magic wand to ensure all issues will disappear in the blink of an eye, but I do have the patience, endurance, and heart to create change in any individual's life that I may encounter.

“I don’t understand why you feel that way” “Here we go again!” “There are people who have it worse than you…” Sound familiar? It’s hard enough navigating the complexities of life as an individual. It’s even more difficult when you don’t feel seen, heard, or understood. My clients call me Alex. I am not a traditional clinician, and I do not strive to be. I aim to create a safe and collaborative atmosphere for my clients centered on inclusion and understanding. I pride myself on being relatable and honest. I tell it like it is. I empower. I listen. Are you ready to transform your life?

Our mission is "To empower individuals, couples, and families to break free from the chains that bind them, in order to create present and multi-generational changes that last forever." Indelible means that which cannot be undone; permanent." Too often, individuals, couples, and families cycle through services and treatment providers, only to continue suffering and feeling as if no one understands and/or no one can help. This can be traumatic. Often, issues can run deep and last for generations. Indelible Changes was born out of the desire to help individuals, couples, and families break free from the chains that bind them.
