Alexandra Salone

My communication style

I favor direct, clear communication driven by a genuine curiosity for deeper understanding. Our sessions are collaborative—I reflect, stay curious, and gently challenge rigid thinking because change is the goal. I meet you where you are, teach new tools, and sprinkle in my trademark sarcasm and humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

My lived experience, research interests, and a deep desire to help sparked my passion to become a therapist. Working with marginalized communities shapes how I practice. I saw how stigma and barriers often block access to care. I’m committed to bridging that gap—centered on connecting with and supporting the people who need it most.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. We set goals that matter to you—whether strengthening a relationship, reducing stress, or enhancing self‑esteem. Those goals evolve as you grow. Progress > perfection, I highlight growth, and adjust the plan to keep it meaningful and supportive. We’ll do regular check-ins about how we feel things are going.

Our first session

The first session focuses on establishing a shared understanding of therapy, discussing its costs and benefits, and outlining goals. It’s normal to feel nervous; we’ll break down overwhelming topics into manageable pieces at your pace. Most importantly, we’ll begin building a strong mental health support team built on trust and safety.
