LICENSED SOCIAL WORK ASSOCIATE
[ accepting new clients ]
Alejandro (Alex) is an Associate Licensed Mental Health Social Worker at our Anderson Park clinic who provides therapy services in-person. He earned his Master of Arts in Social Work from the University of Chicago at Illinois Jane Addams School of Social Work in 2012.
He is a compassionate, confident, clear, and focused clinician. Together, you and Alex will approach goals and objectives from a solution-focused, strength-based, learning theory mindset that aims to identify simple, real-world approaches that can be easily integrated into day-to-day life to create the changes you want to see.
Alex assists (13+) in finding solutions to common issues such as depression, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, anger, and work/life balance. In his work, he aims to meet every client where they are in their life journey by providing a warm and judgment-free space to share hurts, hopes, and everything in between.
His primary style of counseling is the learning theory of Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). These forms of therapy are designed to address needs in a practical and time-efficient manner so you can get back to living life the way you want while working on your thoughts, feelings, and learned behaviors.
