Alexandria Da Ponte-Cheatham

Pre-Licensed Professional
Last Updated 30+ days ago

Hello! I’m a Resident in Counseling with a focus on sex therapy, relational healing, trauma recovery, and work with couples. I support college students and young adults navigating concerns related to intimacy, communication, relationships, and identity development.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing challenges such as mismatched desire, performance-related anxiety, painful sex, communication difficulties, and relational or attachment trauma. I also provide affirming support for students exploring LGBTQIA+ identity, ethical non-monogamy, and the impact of religious or spiritual experiences, including purity culture, spiritual abuse, sexual shame, or faith transitions.

My therapeutic approach integrates person-centered, narrative, mindfulness-based, CBT, feminist, and trauma-informed frameworks. I aim to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and grounded in authenticity, where students can explore identity, relationships, and sexuality without judgment.

With training in clinical mental health counseling and spiritual care, I help clients build insight, strengthen communication, heal from trauma, and develop a healthier sense of self and connection. If you’re looking for support around intimacy, identity, or relationship concerns, I’d be glad to work with you.
