Getting to know Alexandra Helfer

I am a cisgender white female who has been in the mental health field for over 15 years. I have primarily worked with substance use disorders and co-occurring disorders such as depression and anxiety. I have a passion for working with adults to help them achieve the life they want (and to help them identify what that is). I work mainly from a person-centered approach with a trauma-informed lens (meeting people where they are) and believe that therapy is just one step along the path to a healthy mental and physical life. I take a special interest in family of origin and childhood experiences affecting long-term behavior. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Behavioral Health. For my availability, please see my calendar and book an appointment with me via ZocDoc.
