New to Grow
Welcome I'm Alejandra Thank you for taking the time to explore my profile. As a therapist my goal is to create a space that feels safe. A space that allows for you to feel respected and heard. Life can be complicated and difficult to navigate at times. However, I believe that having supports and building on your strengths can make the adventure called life more pleasant. My approach is to meet my clients where they are and tailor a plan specific to your needs.
Our first session will be geared towards getting to know one another. We will discuss your therapy goals and any concerns or questions you might have. We will review confidentiality, how we will work together and establish boundaries.
As the eldest daughter in a home of immigrant parents, I am able to understand through lived experience the challenges that can bring when navigating relationships, careers and setting boundaries with others. As a result I bring deep empathy and cultural humility to my practice. My own resilience and life experience strengthen my ability to hold space for an array of emotions, while fostering hope, growth and empowerment.
I work best with clients that are searching support in changing their patterns and who are motivated to take action. In addition, being open to difficult conversations and honest self-reflection are great indicators of a client that is prepared to create change. At the end of the day, it's essential for there to be a good connection on both sides.
