Who I Help

For the person who knows something needs to change

Maybe you came here searching for therapy because someone you know had a positive experience, or maybe that person encouraged you to reach out. I often hear people worry, "I don't think what I've been through is bad enough to need therapy" or "I don't want to waste a therapist's time with what's going on in my life." There is no checklist or measure of pain and suffering someone has to meet in order to be deserving of support. If something, one thing or many, is weighing on you, that is enough. Therapy is for anyone who wants support in feeling better than how they are feeling right now.

You might benefit from therapy if:

Does any of this sound familiar? "I don't know if I can trust anyone." "It's not safe to go to social events." "I don't have any control over my emotions." "I'm unlovable." "If people really knew me, they would leave me." "People will always hurt you if you let them in." It doesn't have to stay this way.

About Me

The tools to heal. The space to do it.

I started this practice for people who have spent a long time being told, or telling themselves, that what they've been through isn't bad enough to need support. I'm Alexandra Henry, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington State.

My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that every person I work with already has what they need to heal. My job is to help them find it. My approach is client-centered and emphasizes each person's inherent ability to heal from trauma by gaining new tools and highlighting their strengths.

I draw primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy and am specifically trained in cognitive processing therapy (CPT), prolonged exposure (PE), and narrative exposure therapy (NET). My sessions tend to be more structured and focused on learning tools and skills, rather than open-ended talk therapy.

I tend to be warm and direct. I'll be honest with you about what to expect, check in often about how things are going, and always make sure you're moving at a pace that feels right. I work best with people who are ready to stop pushing it down and want real tools for feeling better.

Services & Support

Evidence-based therapy that's transparent, collaborative, and empowering.

Services

A space built just for you

I offer individual therapy for adults navigating all kinds of hard things, whether that is trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling stuck in ways that are difficult to name. Every session is tailored to you, your history, your pace, your goals.

Individual Therapy

After stressful or scary experiences, people are often left feeling guilt, shame, self-blame, confusion, anger, sadness, and worry. In order to make sense of what has happened, we work through these emotions by naming them and making space to feel them, while also recognizing which emotions may be fueled by inaccurate or unhelpful beliefs.

Sometimes these beliefs are built over time through negative messages, victim blaming, or gaslighting. The goal of therapy is to become curious about these beliefs and decide whether they are worth shifting toward something more accurate and helpful. If you are interested in identifying goals for yourself, both in and outside of therapy, and want support in moving toward those goals, I may be a good fit for you.

Trauma and PTSD

Using proven, structured approaches to help you gradually face what has been driving avoidance and fear, so that your world can open back up again.

Anxiety and Depression

Whether it shows up as constant worry, low mood, or just a persistent sense that something is off, therapy can help you understand what is happening and find your way through it.

Feeling Stuck

Sometimes the hardest thing to describe is also the most real. If you just know something needs to change but you are not sure what, that is a perfectly valid place to start.

Why Work With Me

Finding the right fit changes everything

The relationship between therapist and client is itself part of the healing. Here is what you can count on when we work together.

1

Authenticity

The relationship between therapist and client is itself part of the healing, and that only works if it is real.

2

Collaboration

You are the expert on your own life and I'm here to walk alongside you to support you in the goals that you want to prioritize.

3

Empowerment

The goal is not to need therapy forever. It is to give you the tools and insight to navigate life with more freedom and less fear. I want you leaving sessions feeling more capable, not more dependent.

Therapy is a partnership.

We build a path forward together that's tailored to your life and your goals.

FAQs

Questions you might be sitting with

It’s normal to have questions before reaching out. Here are some I hear a lot. If something is still holding you back, reach out and ask. There are no wrong questions.

Send a Message
How do I know if therapy is right for me right now? +
If things that happened in your past are still affecting your daily life, your relationships, sleep, or sense of self, that is often a sign therapy could help. At this time, I am not accepting new clients, but I welcome questions and would be happy to share next steps when availability opens.
What treatment approaches do you use? +
I use evidence-based, gold-standard methods that have strong research support. For trauma specifically, these include Prolonged Exposure (PE), which works by gradually facing avoided memories and situations; Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which focuses on shifting unhelpful thought patterns formed around trauma; and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), which helps you build a coherent life story especially useful for complex or repeated trauma. For anxiety, depression, and other concerns I draw on approaches with similar research backing. We will always talk through what makes the most sense for you.
Is trauma therapy hard? What if it feels like too much? +
Trauma therapy can be emotionally demanding at times, and I want to be honest about that. But I will not push you faster than you are ready to go, and you are always in control of what we explore. Many people are surprised by how quickly they begin to feel relief. We go at your pace, always.
How does telehealth therapy work? +
Sessions are held via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, similar to a video call, from wherever you feel comfortable and private. Research consistently shows telehealth therapy is just as effective as in-person for most people, and it removes the commute so one less barrier stands between you and showing up.
How long does therapy take? +
CPT typically runs about 12 structured sessions; PE typically 8 to 15; NET varies depending on complexity and history. Everyone's journey is different, and we will check in regularly on your progress. You are always part of the conversation about what comes next.

Questions are welcome.
