So far my experience with Alex has been a positive one. At the onset of getting matched with her I listed a goal and the steps that need to be taken in order to achieve it and I feel that she tailors our sessions towards that direction as I genuinely believe she wants to see me succeed.

Alexandra is a breath of fresh air. She checks in on me, always responds to me and she is very patient with me. What I truly appreciate about Alexandra is that she knows that I know that I am in control of my therapy and not her and she gives me the room to walk in the truth of who I am now and who i want to be. She understands the goal and she has come alongside of me to help me accomplish the task. I appreciate her as she takes this journey with me one day at a time.
