Getting to know Alexandra Akins

Hi there, I'm Alexandra! There are many challenges in life: from overcoming past experiences, to managing emotions and building a sense of who we are in the world. Sometimes juggling it all can become overwhelming and we feel like we do not know where to turn. But, with help we find a a way through it all. My focus By utilizing interventions from a variety of therapeutic techniques, my goal is to see all my clients grow and thrive. Overcoming the old patterns and writing a new chapter that they feel empowered by. My approach I provide a humanistic and individualized approach to care that values each person as someone with unique strengths and struggles. Whether it's providing empathetic support, or finding new perspectives on old challenges, I am here to assist my clients in building insight into the patterns that keep them stuck. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. But, I am also straightforward and honest when I feel like I may be seeing the issue from another perspective. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to being a provider because of my own lived experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder and struggles with neurodivergence. In my own journey, I found that too few of my providers understood what it was like to be in the client's shoes and wanted to make sure others would have the person I needed at that time. My goals for you I help my clients to reach their goals by finding tailored solutions and methods of coping that work for them. I take into account my clients interests when building up coping skills so that your journey feels like your own. I help develop insight into the root causes of the issues, and go at a pace that allows for sustainable change.
