Getting to know Alexandria Desire

Hi, I'm Alex, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC-D) dedicated in creating a therapeutic space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, the weight of trauma, cultural or racial identity concerns, life transitions, or relationship challenges, you don't have to face it alone. With a particular passion for supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, my practice is designed to be inclusive and affirming for all patients, and especially meaningful to those who haven't always felt centered in their care. Our work together is genuinely collaborative, because healing happens best when you're an active part of the process. Bridging that gap, together, is what I'm here for. Drawing on different modalities, my approach is integrative, person-centered, and always collaborative. My style is kind yet purposeful: together we'll work toward recognizing your needs and building the practical tools to meet them. Guiding you toward the support and strategies that help you thrive is what drives every session we share.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I strive to create an inclusive, affirming, and supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow. I have a particular passion for supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, while welcoming individuals from all backgrounds. My approach is person-centered, compassionate, and collaborative, helping you explore your concerns, recognize your needs, and develop practical tools to navigate life's challenges.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I take an integrative, person-centered approach, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we will explore the challenges you're facing, identify patterns and areas for growth, and develop practical strategies to support your well-being. I believe healing happens best when you're an active participant in the process, and I'll work alongside you to help you feel empowered and build meaningful, lasting change.
