Alex White, MSW, LCSW

Who I work with

• Children and teens with ADHD, anxiety, autism spectrum differences, sensory processing challenges and behavioral concerns. I work closely with families and educators to create supportive environments at home and at school.

• Adults and veterans navigating PTSD, traumatic stress, depression, anxiety and grief. Read more about our trauma therapy.

• People of all ages going through life transitions who want practical tools alongside deeper understanding.

How I work

I see therapy as a collaborative process that helps people understand themselves better, build healthier relationships, and create a life that feels more grounded and connected. My approach is holistic and culturally responsive, and I work from a strengths-based, client-centered and trauma-informed lens. Depending on who I'm working with, that may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• mindfulness-based practices

• solution-focused therapy

• family systems and attachment-informed work

• narrative approaches

• EMDR

I'm also training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Working with families and schools

I have extensive experience working within school systems. With children and teens, I partner with parents and educators so the support a young person gets in therapy carries over into the rest of their week.
