Professional statement

Alexandra Sanders is experienced in supporting clients who have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, neurodivergent burnout, and with sexuality, gender identity, attachments, relationship issues, trauma, open and consensual non-monogamous relationships, trauma, trust and self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and managing stress/anger.

Alexandra uses a collaborative and integrative approach that includes mindfulness, somatic therapy, family systems, solution-focused, behavioral therapy, and an existential approach to help clients explore meaning and purpose in their lives, and process traumatic experiences.

A strength of Alexandra's is her ability to establish and maintain trust with clients by fostering an environment of safety, empathy, and acceptance. It is important that clients feel heard, seen, validated, and supported. Alexandra strives to help clients navigate and process their thoughts, feelings, identities, interpersonal relationships, and life experiences; and develop self awareness and compassion.

Message to clients

I am a queer, poly-affirming, and neurodivergent therapist who supports clients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, learning difficulties, neurodivergent burnout, and with sexuality, gender identity, attachments, relationship issues, trauma, open and consensual non-monogamous relationships, trust and self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and managing stress/anger.

My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and trauma-informed as I use mindfulness, somatic therapy, family systems, solution-focused, behavioral therapy, and an existential approach to help clients explore meaning and purpose in their lives, process their lived experiences, and develop healthy coping skills.

Past experiences can impact our ability to be vulnerable and trusting. I strive to establish and maintain trust by being empathetic, an effective listener, and validating. It is important to feel heard, seen, and validated. Together we will work towards healing and achieving desired outcomes by exploring your experiences in a safe and compassionate space.
