Dr.Mari Alexander
Counselor
·PhD, LPC-MHS, ACSAbout
I believe that every client already holds an internal GPS—their intuition, values, and lived experiences. My role is not to take the wheel, but to help you interpret the map, clarify your desired destination, and adjust your route when life detours occur. Like Siri, I offers calm, nonjudgmental guidance—never shaming you for “missing a turn” or taking a longer route. Instead, I simply “recalculates,” helping you explore alternative paths with compassion and curiosity. As a seasoned mental health professional with over 20 years of experience, I bring a deep understanding of clinical psychology and a commitment to fostering mental well-being. My approach is informed by years of creating impactful initiatives, such as trauma-informed care training, mental health support for marginalized groups, and community wellness program My clinical approach can be described as “Siri-style guidance with therapeutic wisdom.” It is a model of collaboration, navigation, and gentle redirection—meeting you exactly where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be. Specialties: I work with individuals facing symptoms often tied to relationship or family challenges. In our initial sessions, we'll take a deep look at your experiences to uncover the root causes of your struggles. Together, we'll create a personalized plan to help you feel relief quickly, while empowering you with the confidence and tools to take control of your life. Credentials & Experience: I have over 20 years of experience helping adults, older teens, families and marriages in need of mental or emotional help. I am licensed in a number of state and hold several certifications.
"We will focus on understanding and addressing the challenges you're facing in a way that brings meaningful and lasting change. Our work will center on how your emotions shape your experiences and relationships. Together, we'll develop tools to process those emotions, foster self-compassion, and create positive shifts that help you feel more balanced and in control."
