Alexandra Anthony
LPC | Licensed Professional Counselor
“You pay for the skill, the love I choose to give you is free.”
I believe that change and growth are possible for everyone. I have sat on both sides of the therapy chair, and I understand that it takes courage and vulnerability just to get yourself there. Sometimes emotions have a way of taking over. Whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem or everyday stressors of life, therapy can help guide you to turn inward, in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. With a background in trauma, I believe that emotions stay and live within the body; therefore, it is important to allow oneself to pause and feel the emotion. In therapy, I will work hard to create a safe space to allow the client to be their most authentic self. My approach to therapy is a collaborative process, to help guide you to feel empowered and unlock the best version of yourself.
With a collaborative approach, I focus on identifying the unconscious thought and behavior patterns that are shaped in childhood. These patterns are what drive the emotions and actions in our everyday lives. Utilizing unconditional positive regard, honesty, empathy, and humor in session, I will meet the client where they are in a holistic way. Modalities I often include are, Person Centered Therapy, Trauma Focused – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychoanalytic, psychoeducation and mindfulness practices.
I enjoy guiding people to become more conscious of harmful behaviors/thoughts, improve on creating boundaries, communication skills, sitting in the discomfort of an emotion, and to utilize the strengths you bring to the table already. I primarily work with people experiencing trauma symptoms, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and low-self-esteem. I have also worked very closely with individuals in the LGBTQIA community.
I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, Quest, & United/Optum Insurances.
