Alexa Stern

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who utilizes an embodied and integrated approach to support clients to heal from past wounds while improving current functioning. As a body-oriented therapist, I believe attending to posture, gesture, breath, tensions, voice, and movement can yield powerful insights and changes in how we experience ourselves and the world and facilitate the integration of body, mind and spirit toward fuller authentic living. Often, we need to encounter what we find within us to be deeply unacceptable, painful, and terrifying to be set free and transform. As a compassionate, supportive guide, I am humbled and honored to accompany my clients on this journey. I care deeply about my clients' personal histories and narratives and believe the foundation of a positive therapy experience is a strong therapeutic relationship. By utilizing experiential techniques, my approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy to facilitate growth and change. By supporting your innate, creative, adaptive self, together we can work to uncover the source of your difficulties, initiate positive change, and expand your choices for living in the world. I offer a free 10 minute phone consultation to see if we might be a good fit and encourage you to contact me if such a partnership could be beneficial to you.
