Getting to know Aleksandar Maric
Healing is only possible in relationships where we feel heard, seen, and cared for. I strive to help people accept their vulnerability and view it as a source of immense courage rather than weakness. By tapping into our innate wisdom, we can navigate through the challenges of depression, anxiety, and trauma with strength and grace. Through our collaborative journey, you'll explore the transformative power of introspection, reflection, and intentional/meaningful movement while unlocking new pathways to emotional resilience. I like integrating my sports psychology background with talk therapy to promote meaningful movement and connection to nature. I have extensive experience working with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD while providing individual and couples therapy.
I prefer to use an integrative approach that often combines emotionally focused, narrative, and solution-focused approaches. I am a client-centered therapist who emphasizes collaboration and a resilience-based approach that is trauma-informed and non-pathologizing.
I am curious about my clients and what they need. I see them as experts in their experiences, and I am honored to be a part of a mutual exploration of their preferred selves. My goal is to support clients learn how to tolerate overwhelming feelings, improve their sense of safety, and move toward their hopes and dreams.
Therapy, at its core, is a relationship — a unique space built on trust, presence, and collaboration. My approach is integrative, drawing from various modalities to meet your needs as a whole person — emotionally, mentally, relationally, and somatically. There’s no one-size-fits-all path to healing, and I’m committed to helping you discover what growth looks and feels like for you. In our work together, you can expect honest and compassionate dialogue, with a tone that’s both grounded and encouraging.

Alex makes me really think about my emotions, how I react/ respond to people and situations. What I love is how he asks meaningful questions, the kind that elicit self-reflection and accountability. i’m extremely hopeful that my capacity to deal with difficult people and stressful situations, as well as overcoming my own hangups will vastly improve under Alex‘s care.
