I attack the problem and not the person. I approach therapy using people's own strengths, while challenging unhealthy thoughts, and replacing them with healthy, productive thoughts to increase optimal functioning.

I have been practicing therapy since 2013. I have worked with teens and their families as the lead clinician in outpatient settings. I am currently focused on supporting clients in addressing concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting problems, anger management, stress, substance abuse, attachment and complex trauma. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe each client is the expert in their own life and I seek to assist clients in finding the best solutions for their concerns. I am straightforward and believe change can be scary and difficult and I am here to confront the issues contributing to the difficulties you are facing. My approach primarily combines cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, solution focused, and behavioral modification counseling. I believe each client and each situation is unique and therefore I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am so proud of you for taking this step to enrich and empower yourself to meet your goals in life. I genuinely hope I can help you along this path to success and I believe you can accomplish anything you set your mind to doing.
As a mental health professional, I, Brock, MSW, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP (she, her), am a compassionate trauma therapist specializing in family systems work and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). I focus on helping children, adolescents, and their families identify and heal from family system disruptions, relational wounds, and trauma, which often manifest as anxiety, depression, and other life-disrupting disorders. As a certified attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) provider, I collaborate with clients and their families to implement evidence-based strategies, methods, and interventions aimed at improving client outcomes. With a holistic approach to healing and a commitment to empowering my clients, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where healing and growth can flourish. I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and thrive.
Life can feel heavy at times—whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or questioning who you are. You don’t have to face these struggles alone. In therapy, we’ll work together to approach challenges with curiosity, not fear, and uncover the strengths you already carry. I’ll help you build tools to regain a sense of control, strengthen your resilience, and create meaningful change in your life. My approach blends evidence-based therapies like CBT, narrative, and solution-focused methods with a holistic focus on the whole person. I also provide gender-affirming care, which I view as a life-saving pathway to authenticity and belonging. This is your space to feel supported, understood, and empowered to imagine new possibilities for yourself.
My practice is very client centered with emphasis on being a guide through your healing by using knowledge and experience and current techniques. My passion for this work allows the use of a broad level experience and educational background to guide and assist others. I love helping others and will go out of my way to meet your needs. Join me in a safe comfortable office to dive as deep into your issues you need for healing. I also offer Telehealth via secure internet. I prefer to see you in person but when this is not possible Telehealth is a great option.
Many times it is very difficult to make the first step and ask for help. However, if you suffer, and your have already tried anything you could on your own, it might be time to get professional advice. I provides individual counseling. I collaborate with my clients. Your feedback along the way is very important to me. It helps me adjust my work so I can meet your needs and preferences. I am a certified sex therapist. These skills allow me to serve you better if you struggle with relationships and intimacy issues.
I have 22 years experience working productively with people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and sexual orientations. Our job together is to identify dysfunctional patterns that contribute to—even perpetuate—your difficulties. The main focus of therapy is to remove inner and outer obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals and having better relationships. My approach is supportive, empathetic and, above all, pragmatic. While understanding the past is essential, change can only occur in the present. I will challenge you to be an active partner in therapy and to work toward ongoing insight, growth, and positive change both in and outside of sessions. My experience ranges from psychotherapy with adults, teens, and couples to counseling trauma survivors with acute PTSD. Whether you seek to make a major change, overcome a life blow or obstacle, or to break a chronic pattern, I will meet you where you are at. Please note that after years of counseling and assessment in offices, I‘ve recently moved into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too.
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re carrying more than you let on. Maybe you’ve been trying to hold everything together—your relationships, your career, your confidence—while quietly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next step. You might be tired of overthinking, tired of feeling alone with your thoughts, or tired of pretending you’re “fine” when you know you deserve more than survival mode. I want you to know: you don’t have to do this alone. I’m Alex, and my approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and real-world practicality. When you and I work together, you get a space where you can breathe, slow down, and finally talk honestly about what’s going on beneath the surface. I show up as a human first and a therapist second, someone who listens without judgment, helps you untangle the overwhelm, and walks alongside you as you reconnect with yourself. In our sessions, you can expect a blend of evidence-based practices and personalized care. I lean on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic approaches, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, and, when helpful, accelerated resolution therapy (ART). Whether we’re working through anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, performance blocks, or life transitions, I tailor the process to who you are and what you need, not a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. We’ll identify the patterns that keep you stuck, build healthier ways of thinking and coping, and strengthen the parts of you that are capable, resilient, and ready for change. My goal is for you to feel understood, supported, and empowered, not just in sessions, but in your everyday life. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are, respect your pace, and help you move toward clarity, balance, and meaningful growth, you’re in the right place. We’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself again.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unfocused, or weighed down by stress or past experiences — and you’re looking for real relief. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly and get support that actually helps. My approach blends therapy, trauma‑informed care, and evidence‑based medication management to help you feel calmer, more focused, and more in control of your life. Accepting new patients with appointments in 24–48 hours. Serving TX, AZ, NY, CA, WA, NV, NM, and WI.
Life has challenges; some up and some down. We can feel anxious, sad, alone or sometimes just stuck with no clear direction. That's when we find ourselves needing a partner to walk alongside us as we navigate what life throws our way. I am a counselor with over 18 years of experience partnering with people looking for a healthier life with a supportive counseling relationship. I use evidence based practices to address some of our most common concerns in life, including Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for OCD as well as EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD. My approach is strength-based: I believe every person brings unique wisdom and resources to counseling. My role is to help you access those strengths and use them to reach your goals. While I bring expertise in mental health, you are the expert on your own life. Finding the right counselor is an important and sometimes challenging decision. I offer brief consultation calls so we can connect and see if we’re a good fit before you commit. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey toward a calmer, more balanced, and fulfilling life.
