More About Alexa Just
Clinical Interests:
I specialize in working with those who are experiencing trauma related concerns, attachment disorders, anxiety disorders, self-identity and relationship concerns. I primarily work with adults.
Clinical Approach:
My therapeutic approach integrates a variety of interventions dependent on where an individual is at and what their needs are. I believe that everyone encompasses the inner strength and resiliency that is needed for healing, and I am here as a guide to help you tap into those resources. I hold that the therapeutic relationship between myself and a Client is the most important part of effective therapy. I strive to ensure every Client feels welcome, supported, and safe.
I am a certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist through EMDRIA. I have also completed my certification as a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP). I am passionate about implementing the use of EMDR and somatic experiencing techniques in treatment. I believe that the mind-body connection is highly important for holistic healing. I also incorporate aspects of psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused therapy, and crisis intervention.
Hobbies:
Some of my interests include: spending quality time with family, yoga/exercise, enjoying time outside, exploring new places.
