Getting to know Alexandra Vanwagner

Alexandra Vanwagner is an Associate Counselor currently working under the supervision of Rosa Curcia. Their license number is 37AC00713400. Hi! I’m Allie. I’m an LAC with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University, and I invite anyone who comes through my door to tell me their story. We all have one, and I hope to provide a comfortable and non-judgmental space where you can open up and share some of your story with me. I primarily focus on a person-centered and CBT/DBT approach, but I remain flexible because no two people are alike. This is your time, so I like to focus on you. That may also mean we talk about the people in your life, as they are important too. Relationships, whether familial or romantic, are an area of interest I like to explore. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable. I try to be my genuine self, and I hope you will be yours. I won’t push on areas you’re not willing (or not yet willing) to share, as I believe it’s important for you to take your time telling your story. (Also, if you couldn’t tell by now—I enjoy reading!)

What should a new client know about working with you?

I primarily like to specialize in a person-centered approach along with a variety of theories. I also focus on CBT and DBT skills and theories, narrative therapy, as well as a holistic approach. I can help with reframing and challenging negative thoughts and thought patterns. I can also help with developing better communication skills and healthier coping mechanisms. I also help by reflectively listening and providing support to the client and their needs/goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I try to provide empathy by first reflectively listening to the client and what they are or aren’t saying. I tried to provide a non-judgmental space for them to share their thoughts and emotions. I focus on rapport building as that is a big factor and positive outcome in therapy, it has been shown, if the relationship between the therapist and client is positive and strong. I invite them to tell their story and all the characters that may play a role in it.
