Who Individual Therapy Is For
Individual therapy with ALB Therapy is a good fit if you:
✔️ Feel weighed down by anxiety, worry, or constant “what if” thoughts
✔️ Notice OCD symptoms getting in the way of your daily life
✔️ Struggle with perfectionism, people‑pleasing, or burnout
✔️ Are juggling work, caregiving, and family responsibilities
✔️ Want support as you parent, while still caring for your own mental health
✔️ Feel like you “hold it all together” on the outside but are exhausted on the inside
You don’t have to wait until things feel “bad enough” to get help. Therapy can be a space to prevent crises, not just respond to them.
ALB THERAPY
What We Treat
Anxiety
Through CBT and other evidence-based approaches, kids and teens learn to manage worries, fears, or “what ifs” so they can feel confident in school, friendships, and daily life.
OCD
With evidence-based treatment (including ERP), kids and teens learn to manage intrusive thoughts, rituals, or compulsive behaviors and regain control in daily life.
ADHD
Guiding kids and teens with ADHD to build focus, organization, and emotional regulation strategies to thrive in school and everyday life.
Athlete Mental Health
Developing resilience, confidence, and coping skills for young athletes to perform at their best both on and off the field.
Grief and Illness
Supporting kids and teens in navigating the emotional impact of illness, loss, or family transitions through processing difficult feelings.
Third Culture Kids
Creating a space for kids and teens to explore identity, belonging, and the transitions of growing up between cultures, countries, or communities.
OUR APPROACH IS DIFFERENT
How Alex Works in Therapy
Alex’s style is warm, collaborative, and structured. You bring your lived experience and goals; Alex brings specialized training in OCD and anxiety, exposure‑based work, and a systems perspective that considers your roles at home, work, and in relationships.
In your sessions, you can expect to:
Set clear goals together and revisit them over time
Learn practical tools to manage anxiety and OCD in daily life
Explore patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and relationships
Practice new skills between sessions, with support and accountability
Move at a pace that feels challenging but not overwhelming
Alex’s background working in schools and with families gives her a grounded understanding of how stress and expectations build over time and show up in adult life.
