Getting to know Alex Porter
Hello and Welcome! I have been working in the mental health field since completing my Undergraduate degree at Sacramento State University in 2018 and have helping people across a wide variety of places ever since (from in-patient hospitals, to residential treatment facilities, to outpatient clinics). I graduated with my Master's in Psychology from Brandman University back in December of 2021 and have been providing therapeutic services to clients of all backgrounds since then as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I acquired my full license in May of 2024 and now hope to provide even more help to those suffering from life's battles as a fresh LMFT no matter where they are in their life journey. Youth or adult; individual or couple; first-timer or returner; I wish to help in anyway I can through your specific struggles.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Really helps us open up communication and gets our son to talk about his wants and needs, which he usually won't do with us!

Alex bridges telling me what I need and showing me unconscious traits so that I can overcome them with humor, and levity when appropriate. He’s very knowledgable about trauma and has been very helpful in this specific area

I appreciate so much that Alex not only has the skills and knowledge to help me, but I feel he wants to help me.
I have learned so much from him in just a few sessions. I am so happy and hopeful that he can help me be a better person and improve my quality of life. I want that so much.
The fact that he wants to help and wants to share his knowledge and skills to do so means so much to me. I already see and feel an improvement in myself. I finally feel some relief in the burden that I've had to carry all these years. I am so grateful to him for helping me. Thank you so much!
