Alexandra Hagnere
I am an experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that has been in practice for the last 6 years. I very much enjoy working with individuals and supporting them in better understanding who they are so that the can most efficiently work through their struggles and gain insight into who they are.
Because of my variety of experiences in the mental health field I have been able to develop solid treatment models to support folks struggling with many different issues.
In addition to my private practice, I also work in community mental health and support individuals who are struggling with severe mental illness and experiencing a crisis. This work helps me to best understand treatment and support for a wide variety of mental health struggles which I then get to bring back to my private practice clients to most effectively support them in their treatment.
First session
During our first session I like to focus on getting to know you and what made you seek out therapy. I like to asks questions to best understand what you are looking for in a therapist and what you feel you need from me in order to kick off our work together. I also spend time getting to know you and what your struggles are so I can begin crafting a a treatment plan so we can dive right into helping get you to where you want to be.
Strengths
Because of my variety of experiences in the mental health field I have been able to develop solid treatment models to support folks struggling with many different issues. My top priority is supporting my clients back on track and achieving their dreams.
Ideal clients
My practice is built around supporting folks with a wide variety of mental health struggles. I find no problem too large or too small when it comes to seeking support from a therapist. Lewis Carroll said it best - “I’m not crazy, my reality is just different than yours.” Isn’t that the truth! I enjoy supporting individuals in exploring their identity and taking the time to get to truly know themselves and their reality. This will allow an abundance of insight and useful tools as they encounter struggles throughout their journey.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My preferred treatment method is CBT as I find it to be the most versatile and the best way to support my clients in identifying what is feeling off and supporting them in an efficient and timely way to start addressing their issues and feel better. CBT also works well in conjuncture with other treatment methods to most effectively address what's troubling you.
