My Approach to Therapy

As an African American woman, I understand identity issues. Alejandra Hayden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Texas with nine years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. Alejandra has helped people navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and more.

My Practice & Services

After graduating from John Jay College of Criminal Justice with a Bachelor of Arts in Forensic Psychology in New York City, Alejandra decided to continue her education in Texas. Alejandra earned her Master of Arts in Family Therapy from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. When it comes to therapy, Alejandra utilizes accelerated resolution therapy (ART) and a relational, collaborative, strength-based, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, trauma-informed, solution-focused, and Gottman approach to assist her clients in meeting their goals. Alejandra tailors her sessions to each client’s needs, staying consistent in her flexibility, creativity, and awareness as she helps individuals and couples discover and use their unique strengths. Alejandra understands that therapy can feel intimidating at times. As such, she works to find the right balance between listening and helping clients expand beyond their comfort zones by creating a safe, caring, and trusting relationship with each person. Alejandra collaborates with you so that you are not only meeting your goals, but also discovering your personal strengths, values, and desires to live your life to the fullest.
