Sandra Alger

My communication style

My communication style is calm, open, and down-to-earth. I believe in creating a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, no judgment, no pressure, just genuine conversation. I listen closely and respond with honesty and empathy, helping you feel seen and understood while also offering perspective and practical feedback when it’s helpful.

My journey to mental healthcare

Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals and families in community and military settings, as well as through virtual counseling. I draw from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Exposure Therapy, and crisis intervention, always tailoring our work to your needs and goals.

My goals for you

I believe real progress starts with understanding what matters most to you. Together, we’ll identify your goals, whether that’s managing anxiety, improving relationships, setting boundaries, or simply feeling more confident and grounded in daily life. Then we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, breaking big changes into manageable steps.

Our first session

Your first session is about getting to know you, what’s been going on lately, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you’d like to get out of our work together. I take time to listen and learn about your experiences, your strengths, and what’s been most challenging for you. It's a space to take a breath and start where you are.
