Alexandra (Alex) Maddox, MA, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 141737)
Pronouns: She / Her / Hers
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the Institute’s Child and Adolescent Specialty Practice (CASP) and a member of the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) team. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, families, and adults and helping all of my clients grow. My goal is to help young people and their families improve their mental and emotional health and communication.
My treatment strategies are multifaceted, incorporating mindfulness, body work, and cognitive approaches. By using a multicultural and trauma-focused lens, I help youth and their families find solutions within the specific context of their lives and experiences. These approaches allow me to help clients develop awareness, coping skills, and new ideas about the ways they want to live.
I believe that my clients are the experts on their own lives, and I approach each session with a spirit of collaboration. Together we can problem solve and strategize about treatment focus and what might be most helpful. By providing tips, tools, and education, I am able to support my clients and their families in changing, growing, and thriving.
