Lily Alexander

Intern

As a therapist, I believe that we all need to feel heard and witnessed. In saying the unsayable — and being held through it — our shame and pain can start to melt away. In session, my approach is warm, curious, active, and engaged. I am here to discuss everything from life’s small potatoes to life’s deepest challenges.

 

As a white, queer, nonbinary femme, I have personal and professional experience with queer family-building, intercultural relationships, spirituality & religious trauma, open relationships, pregnancy/postpartum challenges and cooperative living. I also work with folks who are navigating issues around emerging adulthood, OCD, anxiety, and perfectionism.

 

In my work with clients, I hold space for both processing the pain and challenges of life, as well as celebrating successes and dreaming up new liberated futures.

 

I look forward to working together!
