ALETA ALEXANDER, MA, LPCC – Counselor/Therapist

I am a private practice counselor/therapist serving clients in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico, as well as online as needed. As your therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive change, for you. I look forward to working with you to addresses your challenges and realize your goals. Therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire.

Treatment Approach

field pathI am primarily and Internal Family Therapist, trained through level 3.  My practice includes utilizing modalities as they may best be fitted for a client, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, DBT, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, and Art Expressive Therapies.

Additionally, there is a growing body of research that supports the practice of self-compassion and mindfulness in psychotherapy. Neuroscience research reveals individuals that practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past. It is my honor and mission to help my clients move past what’s blocking them from reaching their full potential individually and in their relationships.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
