Alex Blitz
With over two decades of diverse clinical experience, I support children and adults with disabilities and psychiatric conditions using CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and psychoeducation. Currently working in a therapeutic school and an acute inpatient psychiatric unit, I specialize in individual, group, family therapy, and anger management, offering a highly versatile, compassionate approach tailored specifically to each client's unique journey.
First session
I assist clients with developing coping skills for symptoms and stressors, resolve family conflict, process emotional distress and trauma. I also provide Psychoeducation into mental health and implement research and evidenced based approaches.
Strengths
I bring a unique blend of deep clinical experience, educational background, and intentional connection to every session, meeting clients exactly where they are with a highly versatile, multi-disciplinary toolkit. My approach stands out because I heavily prioritize rapport-building, combining deep, compassionate listening with warmth and humor to dismantle the clinical stiffness of therapy and create a truly comfortable, safe space. Having worked across the entire spectrum of care—including inpatient hospitals, intensive in-home services, and outpatient mental health programs—alongside a prior career as a special education teacher, I possess a profound understanding of diverse learning styles, neurodivergence, and complex family dynamics. I am dedicated to providing culturally responsive and deeply affirming care to diverse populations across various races and ethnicities, with a particular specialization in supporting the LGBTQ+ community as individuals explore identity and navigate family systems. Furthermore, I bring a creative edge to modern therapy by successfully adapting interactive games to a telehealth format, ensuring that play therapy and relationship-building remain vibrant, engaging, and effective even in an online space.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are children and adults navigating disabilities, psychiatric conditions, or identity exploration, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. I work best with individuals seeking a collaborative, highly adaptable therapist who blends evidence-based tools like CBT and DBT with creativity and humor. Whether online or in person, I welcome anyone ready to build a meaningful relationship and pursue growth.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my sessions, we use CBT to look at how your thoughts affect your feelings. Together, we catch and reframe those negative, automatic mental loops that leave you feeling stuck, replacing them with more realistic, balanced perspectives.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
With DBT, I teach you concrete, real-time skills to calm your nervous system when life feels overwhelming. This approach is all about giving you practical tools to handle intense emotions, manage stress, and navigate relationship conflicts smoothly.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Holding all of this together is a Rogerian, person-centered approach. This means I provide a completely warm, genuine, and non-judgmental space where you are the expert on your own life, ensuring you always feel deeply heard, valued, and accepted exactly as you are.
