Dr. Alexander Purring
Are you looking to create meaningful change in your life? I support clients as they work toward becoming the best version of themselves. Drawing from my background as a clinical psychologist, executive coach, and behavioral strategist, my goal is to support you in building a path forward that promotes consistency and life satisfaction.
We will set concrete goals and implement lifestyle progression, which is the idea that small, behavioral changes over time creates habit, so you start living each day how you want to live.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and direct, while creating space for you to feel heard, respected, and understood. You do not have to stay stuck in the same patterns; with the right mindset and support, you can understand what is holding you back and start moving toward the life you want.
First session
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know you, what brings you in, and what you hope to change. I will ask various questions so we can build a clear picture of what is going on in your life. Together, we will identify practical goals that can be revisited over time to explore what is working, what is not, and what can be done differently. By the end of the first session, you will leave with a sense that you are building a direction that feels realistic and aligned with your life and values.
Strengths
I provide a practical, solution-focused approach that targets positive behavioral change and mental clarity. We will emphasize what matters most and identify what needs to happen to keep momentum. Insight is important, however, meaningful change also requires action. To support this process, we will work to understand your motivation in depth so change feels more intentional, easier to sustain, and connected to the life you want to build.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is ready to better understand themselves and take active steps toward change. You may be navigating stress, life transitions, career pressure, relationship challenges, or patterns that keep showing up despite your best efforts. I work well with clients who want a practical and collaborative approach that balances reflection with action. If you are looking for clarity, consistency, and a realistic path forward, we may be a strong fit.
Treatment methods
Integrative
The foundation of my approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, in a practical, coaching-informed style and format. I have applied this approach across a wide range of settings, from corporate C-suites to high-stakes environments within Special Operations. I find this style to be a realistic and concrete way for clients to see progress and apply what they learn outside of session.
