Alexandra Akins

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. But, I am also straightforward and honest when I feel like I may be seeing the issue from another perspective.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to being a provider because of my own lived experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder and struggles with neurodivergence. In my own journey, I found that too few of my providers understood what it was like to be in the client's shoes and wanted to make sure others would have the person I needed at that time.

My goals for you

I help my clients to reach their goals by finding tailored solutions and methods of coping that work for them. I take into account my clients interests when building up coping skills so that your journey feels like your own. I help develop insight into the root causes of the issues, and go at a pace that allows for sustainable change.

Our first session

In our first session I will explore your current struggles, history of treatment, and other factors in order to create a treatment plan that works for you. We will also collaborate to establish goals together. Because it's your journey and you should be the one that decides where it goes.
