I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY, and a LPC-MHSP in Tennessee. I graduated in May 2018 from William James College with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a concentration in Forensic and Correctional Counseling. I have worked in the areas of mental health and substance use for the past 6 years in a combination of community residential, outpatient, and inpatient settings in the community as well as in correctional settings. I have worked with clients who have a wide range of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, and personality disorders. I have a lot of experience helping clients with transitions including starting sobriety, reentry from incarceration, relationship changes, loss and many various other major life changes that can lead to anxiety/depression. I would describe my approach as warm, empathetic, person centered, and solution focused. I will work with you to help you reach your goals and make positive changes in your life. I use an eclectic approach, pulling techniques from many theories including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I look forward to working with you!

Hello! My name is Alexander Haney and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist and training in evidence-based practices. I primarily use Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Exposure Response Prevention which focus on the unique needs of the individual. During my 5 years of experience, I have specialized experience in several areas including depression, OCD/anxiety, stress, and couples counseling. I enjoy working with individuals who are new to the therapy process and who are willing to work toward goals. Please consider, this process is NOT a one-off session - it is a course of treatment whereby you need to be committed to change and healing towards a happy more grounded and integrated future. Therapy is something you engage in, not something you receive and while like most things in life that are incredibly difficult to do, they tend to be the most fulfilling. My hope is that by the time you have gone through this process, you will have a really clear understanding of exactly who you are, what your struggles are, what you need and what you want while becoming empowered to go out and build a brilliant life worth living. Whilst integrated therapy works far quicker than long term analysis or counselling, I can offer both long-term and short-term therapy depending on your preferences and needs. Some clients like to continue therapy for a long time to continue investing in themselves and their own personal development. Whereas others work on their current issues for a time, then drop down to less frequent sessions, or simply return as and when needed. I consider what I do to be a tremendous honor and privilege to be apart of your journey forward, wherever that may be. Talk with you shortly! Alex

Greetings! I am a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee with 18+ years of mental health with a doctorate in psychology from Saybrook University and a master’s degree in counseling from Villanova University. I have experience working with adults with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and who have experienced emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse. Clients grappling with issues pertaining to spirituality, faith, meaning, and purpose may find my approach helpful. My knowledge of psychology, and of Eastern and Western philosophy and religions, assists me in meeting clients where they are in their journey to wholeness and well-being. I have published two books, both with a focus on the Transcendent Psyche (Soul), and my model of realizing the Higher Self within. My 15+ years in human resources management in major corporations in Texas and Pennsylvania provides me with extensive workplace knowledge and the ability to help clients maneuver through the high stress work environment today. I provide individual therapy for both adult men and women utilizing my knowledge of the cognitive, emotional, and relational differences between men and women. Male and female clients have similar situations, but oftentimes have different internal experiences and different perspectives as individuals and within intimate relationships which creates conflict Helping guide them to insights and strategies which can lead to a more harmonious, healthier relationship is my goal. My therapeutic approach: My approach is client-centered with a psychodynamic element, with an understanding that most of life’s deepest challenges stem from childhood wounds which may be unconscious or conscious. Understanding the bio-psychosocial aspect of mental health is also important for it is the mind-body connection which underpins our psyche. My knowledge of Jungian theory, Attachment theory, and the stages of personal growth outlined by Abraham Maslow and the psychosocial stages by Erikson, all inform my work with clients. Overall, I focus on client goals and removing obstacles to meet those goals. My therapist style: The basis of trust between therapist and client relies on a therapist who provides a safe environment in which the client can be heard, seen, understood, without judgment, and disclose intimate matters, so they can be their authentic and natural self. My passion is to help my clients navigate life’s challenges, traumas, and difficult situations, so they can heal and experience more inner peace and healthier, happier relationships with loved ones, friends, and at work.
