Giving it the best effort.
"I'm proud of you for the times you came in second, or third, or fourth, but what you did was the best you had ever done."

About
Making the best of any situation
Hi, I'm Alex. If you are struggling with school/peers, healthy relationships, finding balance, accepting change (even positive change), feeling like yourself, processing trauma, or some combination of these issues. I work with clients to figure out what they may need help with, where they would like to go, and I do my best to help them get there.
I have experience using several interventions and models to create the best fit for clients. I use a collaborative and supportive approach that helps people engage and participate in their life in manageable ways.
Primarily my experience is with women and children, ages 4 to 40, and families. However, I welcome and look forward to clients outside of those parameters. I have over ten years of experience in community mental health before making this move to private practice at Best Effort Therapy.
