Rate Alexandra Laramee

Welcome to my profile and to the first step toward your reinvention. I'm here to help you make your desires become a reality; whatever that means for you. Whether you crave a healthier outlook, a more ambitious lifestyle, a calmer home environment, a more supportive social network, a fulfilling career, a definitive sense of self, or simply, a better night's sleep, I can help guide you there.

I am a motivated, published and clinically-minded LCSW with rigorous experience in acute psychiatry, substance dependence, intimate partner issues, behavioral health evaluative services, parenting and child/family work who provides therapy services in the hospital setting, and previously, in the Department of Veteran's Affairs, and I'm seeking new client prospects who are committed to self-betterment.



I had the privilege of training at the Beck Institute in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a modality that is evidenced-based for the treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders, as well as, anger issues, chronic pain, poor body image, low self-esteem, troubled sleep, managing relationship stress, coping with physical illness and more. I utilize other modalities, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Image Rehearsal Therapy, Family Based Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and others, depending on the desires of each client.

I set goals with my clients and reach them, act as a believer when they can't or won't believe in themselves and provide structured out-of-session assignments to achieve solid, long-lasting and generalizable results.

One day soon, you won't need me but in the meantime, lets get to work!
