Alexandra Hansen Ankerstar

My communication style

I value clear and open communication to provide a place of safety, support, and non-judgmental. I practice active listening and using questions to evoke thought and personal insight. You can expect a sense of calm and patience from me throughout the sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe everyone desires to live their best life, however that may look. This is what drew me to therapy was the ability to witness the strength and positive change people are able to make, even when they don't feel like they are capable. It warms my heart to see individuals thrive and their confidence increase.

My goals for you

I start by identifying what is bringing you in, what you would like to change, and what that change would look like once achieved. My focus is on your needs and adapting to those as you make progress.

Our first session

The first session can create apprehension because it's new and unknown, however, my goal is getting to know you. This means I'm asking a lot of questions to collect information that will help me, help you. Knowing this can help ease the pressure of what you are going to talk about in the first session.

I identify as...

• Female, Cis
• Caucasian or White
