Hi there, I'm Alexandra!
Hi there! My name is Alexandra De Castro Basto and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Addiction Counselor. I want to create a safe space for you to talk about whatever is going on in your life (past or present or both), and then you and I will work towards the goals you want to achieve in therapy (or figure out together what those goals are).
Clients from dysfunctional families of origin, clients with depression, stress, anxiety, addiction issues, and clients with psychotic disorders.
My communication style
It depends on who the client is, their issues, level of motivation, and their goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
Wanting to assist a person who has a desire to change (even so slight).
My goals for you
In a collaborative way.
My first session with you
To be heard.
