COUNSEL FOR LIFE PLLC







ALEX WHITE LCMHC, LPC

ABOUT COUNSELING

Life can sometimes feel heavy, overwhelming, and difficult to navigate, especially when you’re carrying more than you know how to manage. Anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and life’s unexpected transitions can affect how we see ourselves, how we connect with others, and how we move through our daily lives. I know what it’s like to struggle with anxiety and depression without the right help and tools, and I understand how difficult it can be to find your way forward when you feel overwhelmed by what’s happening inside. That’s one of the reasons I believe so deeply in the value of counseling.


You don’t have to carry everything on your own. Counseling offers a safe, supportive space to release some of the pressure of what you’ve been internalizing, make sense of your experiences, and develop emotional skills that can help you feel better and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My hope is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered as we work together to navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change.

MY PRACTICE

I own a solo Counseling practice called Counsel For Life PLLC. I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) for over 10 years. I have a wealth of experience that includes individual therapy for teens and adults in a private practice setting. Additionally, I’ve served as a Crisis Counselor providing psych evaluations in hospital settings. I've heard a lot of stories from the thousands of clients and patients I’ve cared for over the past decade. I feel honored to partner with you in your unique story and help you discover ways to write new chapters that aren’t so burdened by emotional hurt, shame, & suffering.

 

Overall, I prefer a Person-Centered therapeutic approach emphasizing active listening, non-judgmental support, and developing a strong therapeutic connection. Typically, I don’t adhere to a single therapeutic model, but rather use the technique that seems best suited for each client’s specific needs. I often incorporate principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness techniques. I want to help untangle your mind from negative thought patterns, gain emotional healing, and build self-awareness. Developing emotional skills will enhance every area of your life. You just have to remind yourself that you are worth the investment, especially if your feelings are telling you otherwise.
