Getting to know Alexandra Gerena
Hello, I'm Alexandra, a dedicated and empathetic Hispanic therapist passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find their inner strength. With close to 5 years in the mental health field, I have extensive experience and training in addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, and bipolar disorder.
I believe that forgiveness, gratitude, and self-acceptance are key to a healthy mental life. Effective anger management, strategic problem solving, anxiety reduction, and lifting of depression are also crucial. I emphasize the importance of physical activity, a healthy diet, good sleep, and a strong support system of friends and family to enable you to live your best life. Through our video sessions, I will help you achieve these goals.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the InterAmerican University of Puerto Rico in 2015 and went on to obtain a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Albizu University. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I am now pursuing a doctorate in Clinical Psychology to continue expanding my academic journey. I'm here to support you on your path to mental well-being.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based practices. I believe in the power of collaboration and tailoring therapy to your unique needs. Together, we will create a therapeutic journey that promotes healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.
Outside of my professional life, I value the importance of a balanced lifestyle and strive to practice what I preach. I enjoy engaging in physical activities, maintaining a healthy diet, and cherishing time with my family and friends.
If you're ready to take the first step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life, I'm here to help. Let's work together to uncover your inner strength and achieve your mental health goals.
