Get to know Alejandra

Why did you decide to become a counselor?

I decided to become a counselor because I love helping others, and helping to connect the pieces to form the bigger picture.

What types of clients do you work with best?

Teens and Middle aged clients who struggle with trauma and anxiety.

What type of clients are you most excited to work with?

Teenagers

What’s one thing you wish all clients knew?

I wish all my clients knew that they have the potential to grow and change inside and my job is to help that side of them come out.

Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?

I chose Thriveworks because they care about the clients as much as I do. 

What inspires you?

Seeing how happy and excited my clients get each time they take a step towards their goals always makes me more determined and inspires me to do my best.

What can clients expect in their first session with you?

Client can expect to get a run down of therapy (especially if it's their first time), along with some information gathering and some tools to get you started. 

What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?

I want to make sure above all that I hear the client's main concerns, and where they want to be. My goal is to make sure my client feels heard, and knows that they can trust me with any information.

What do you do for fun/on your time off?

During my time off I love to cook, be outdoors, and kickbox.
