01
Carrying something old
Trauma, grief, or a pattern that's followed you long enough that you've stopped expecting it to move. We can move it.
Counseling · With Alexa
Therapy that doesn’t flinch at the sacred.
Clinical mental health counseling, somatic and trauma-informed, with twelve years of practice. Online worldwide, or in person at La Fuente.
Who This Is For
If any of this sounds like the room you’re in.
02
In a real transition
Career, relationship, identity, a calling that's pulling you somewhere you can't explain yet. The shape of you is changing.
03
Integrating profound experience
Ceremony, plant medicine, a peak experience, a dark night. Therapy that won't flatten what you saw or call it pathology.
04
Anxious in your own body
A nervous system that's been running hot for too long, and a mind that can no longer tell signal from noise. We start in the body.
05
Living between worlds
Clinical and spiritual, religion and questioning, two cultures, two languages. Therapy that doesn't ask you to choose one.
06
Tried therapy before
And it almost worked. Or didn't go far enough. Or the therapist was kind but couldn't meet the part of you that mattered most.
Your Counselor
Alexa.
A licensed mental health counselor with twelve years of clinical practice and a parallel training in integrative and ceremonial work. Alexa’s first career was inside the conventional mental health system. She is fluent in it, and clear-eyed about what it can and cannot do.
Her clinical approach is somatic, attachment-based, and trauma-informed. Her integrative approach adds the rest of the human — nutrition, sleep, ritual, season, story. She works with anxiety, grief, identity, transition, trauma, and the long tail of profound spiritual experience that traditional therapy is often unequipped to meet.
Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes, online over secure video or in person at La Fuente. Sliding scale available for clients in the global south and for early-career artists and clinicians.

How I Work
Four modalities, woven together.
01
Somatic
The body keeps the score. Every session moves through the nervous system, not just the story you bring to it.
02
IFS & Parts Work
Internal Family Systems — meeting the parts of you that have been protecting, holding, or hiding, with curiosity instead of war.
03
Attachment-Based
Tracing the relational patterns that started early and the new repair that becomes possible inside a trustworthy relationship.
04
Trauma-Informed
Working at the pace the nervous system can metabolize — never faster, and never pretending the body isn't part of the conversation.
How Sessions Work
From first consult to ongoing care.
01
Consult
A free 20-minute call. We see if this is a fit. No pressure either direction.
02
Intake
A longer first session to map what you're carrying and what we'll move toward.
03
Rhythm
Weekly or biweekly sessions of 60 or 90 minutes, online or in person at La Fuente.
04
Review
Every twelve weeks we step back and re-orient. Therapy is not meant to be open-ended.
A Note on Method
Where clinical and sacred meet.
Most of what brings people to therapy is not pathological. It is human. The mainstream mental health system is brilliant at certain things and almost willfully poor at others — most especially at meeting the parts of life that involve grief, meaning, lineage, and the inexplicable.
“Insights are easy. Integration is rare.”
The work I do is fully clinical and fully respectful of the sacred. That is not a contradiction. It is just rare. If you have had a profound experience and need a therapist who will neither dismiss it nor make a religion out of it, this is the room for that.
From Clients
What people say after a season.
“
Alexa is the first therapist I've worked with who didn't ask me to choose between my clinical reality and my spiritual life. We worked on both, in the same room, at the same time.

“
I came after a ceremony that broke me open and that no other clinician knew how to meet. Six months of weekly work with Alexa put me back together in a way I actually recognize.

“
Trauma work that didn't re-traumatize me. Patient, somatic, never rushing. I cried a lot less than I expected to and laughed a lot more.

Begin
The first step is a free consult.
Twenty minutes, no agenda. You tell me what’s in the room. I tell you whether this is the right room for it.
