Getting to know Alexandra Henry
Do you find yourself constantly second-guessing your decisions? People might tell you that it seems like you're doing really well, but on the inside you're struggling with trust, self-worth, shame, or feeling out of control. Many people I work with worry that what they've been through isn't bad enough to reach out for help. It is. Using structured, evidence-based treatments, I help individuals stop blaming themselves, build real tools for making space for their emotions, and release themselves from experiences to reach more balance in their day to day lives.
My approach is client-centered and grounded in the belief that every person I work with already has what they need. My job is to help them find it. I primarily draw from cognitive behavioral theory. My sessions tend to be more structured and focused on learning tools and skills, rather than open-ended talk therapy.
If something is weighing on you, that is enough to reach out. There is no checklist you have to meet to deserve support. Whether this is your first time considering therapy or you've struggled to find someone to connect with, nothing moves faster than what you are ready for. You get to decide. You can reach out here on ZocDoc and book an intake appointment directly.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My sessions are more structured and skills-focused than open-ended talk therapy. I draw primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy and am specifically trained in cognitive processing therapy (CPT), prolonged exposure (PE), and narrative exposure therapy (NET). These are evidence-based, gold-standard treatments for trauma with decades of research behind them. Rather than just having a place to talk, you will leave sessions with real tools and skills you can use outside of therapy.
Trauma therapy can be demanding and, at times, destabilizing as we move through memories and experiences you may have been avoiding for a long time. I want to be honest about that. But I will also tell you that one thing that consistently surprises people is how quickly they begin to feel some relief once we get started. These treatment models are typically completed in about 12 to 18 sessions, although I also work with people longer-term if they have additional goals they want to focus on.
Throughout treatment, I check in regularly about how things are going and what pace feels right. You get to decide what we talk about, and nothing moves faster than what you are ready for. I encourage open feedback and want you to feel comfortable telling me what is working and what might need to change. You can say "this isn't working for me" at any point. That is always on the table.
I work best with people who are ready to stop pushing it down and want real tools for feeling better. If that sounds like you, I would love to connect.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Here on Zocdoc, you have the option of scheduling a new patient appointment immediately with me.
The first session is focused on getting to know you, understanding what brought you in, and starting to identify what you want to get out of therapy. I will ask about your history, what you have been struggling with, and what you are hoping will be different. Nothing moves faster than what you are ready for, and you are always in control of what we explore.
From there, we build a foundation before diving into the harder work. I do not believe in rushing into trauma processing before a person feels safe enough to do it. We will talk about what treatment approach makes the most sense for you, set goals together, and make sure you have some initial tools before we start moving through the difficult stuff.
Once we are into active treatment, sessions are structured and focused. We are not just talking, we are working. Each session has a purpose and builds on the last. I'll give you things to practice and think about between sessions, because the work doesn't only happen in the room.
Throughout the whole process I'll check in regularly about how things are going, what pace feels right, and whether what we are doing is working for you. I encourage honest feedback. If something is not working, I want to know. You can tell me at any point that something does not feel right, and we will adjust.
Most treatment models are completed in about 12 to 18 sessions. Some people come in with a specific goal, reach it, and feel ready to move on. Others want to continue working on additional goals beyond the initial focus. Both are completely fine. You are always part of the conversation about what comes next.
