Therapists in Beaver Dam, WI

My clients seek help for relationship issues that make them feel disconnected, lonely, angry, and powerless to make things change. I start by creating a space for each individual to feel safe and heard. Approaching in a nonjudgmental way, we collaborate to allow their strengths to lead the way out of their darkness and find new ways to accomplish what they want most in life.

The core of my work is creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, respected, and understood. A full and satisfying life is unique to each person; I will collaborate with you as you move toward the life you want to live. Understanding each client's culture, identities, and worldview is central to my approach. Not only is it important to deeply understand you as an individual, but also to explore how factors in the wider environment either promote your well being or intensify your distress. A holistic approach to wellness involves the individual, their relationships, and their wider world.

My clients are often racked with self-doubt, anxiety, and regret. I can help you gain confidence in yourself and your ability to make good decisions. If you are feeling lost and overwhelmed, we will work together to understand why you're stuck in this pattern of disappointment and how to make more meaningful changes in your life.

I offer sophisticated psychotherapy to individuals and couples with warmth and compassion. Specializing in working with high-functioning professionals (physicians, psychologists, professors, lawyers, executives), you will receive my full attention and focus as I learn about you, understand why you feel, think and behave the way you do and help you gain deeper understanding of yourself and your problems. We can look at patterns in your thinking, behavior and way of relating to others that may be holding you back. I also offer psychological testing in order to gain deeper insight into your personality style.

Are you looking for a therapist for your child or teen? Is your child struggling with anxiety/worries, social/emotional issues, a life transition or behavior problems? I work with children (age 6+), adolescents and college-aged young adults (up to age 21) and their families. I specialize in treatment of: Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Adjustment Disorders, Depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 1 or 2).

I view psychotherapy as a powerful tool for breaking out of confusion and pain. I work with people seeking help with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, performance, life transitions, job problems, relationship issues, loneliness, and unhappiness. I actively and compassionately work with individuals (adults and adolescents) to help them regain a sense of hope, meaning, and connection in their lives, improving their coping skills and to manage daily stress and overcome destructive behaviors. As a therapist, I work with people to create the lives they want, allowing them to interact more successfully in their families, relationships, and the broader community.

I welcome clients who want to transform difficult personal and relationship challenges into opportunities for richer, more fulfilling lives. Grief, due to death, break-up, estrangement and unresolved anger can be resolved with guidance and support. My professional training, scores of years in practice, and spiritual grounding combine to offer guidance and healing . Specific skills in mindfulness and meditation add depth to our work together.

Alexandra fosters a therapeutic relationship where she offers emotional support, insight, and clinical skills. She aims to empower individuals with what they need to live a flourishing life, including the strength to face hardships, support to make difficult changes, and space to find healing. Alexandra is a warm and genuine counselor who enjoys working with children, adolescents, and adults who present with a wide range of clinical needs. She creates a safe environment for each individual who walks into her office.

I see therapy as a collaborative process, where the client takes the 'expert seat'. No one knows you better than yourself. My role is to offer my knowledge when and where appropriate to help you gain insight into your concerns and facilitate the growth or change desired. I try to create a relaxed and non-judgmental environment for my clients. My approach is client-centered and strength based. I treat a wide range of concerns, which include depression, anxiety, sexual trauma, adult survivors of child abuse, eating disorders/body image, relationship concerns, family of origin issues, and grief and loss.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and children addressing everything from everyday stress to chronic anxiety & depression. Many clients simply want an objective and trusted listener. I offer a comfortable and private setting for you to settle in and talk about your concerns. Maybe you're contemplating a change and not sure about your path; a new job, starting, ending, or recharging a relationship, confronting someone or resolving old hurts. The thought of change is usually more overwhelming than the actual act of change; anticipation often far worse than participation.

Live a healthier life! We can work together to help you reach your goals for a brighter future.
