Michael’s experience working with adolescents and men from a variety of backgrounds has ignited his passion for helping them to overcome problems ranging from anger to trauma.

In that process, we find clarity, and through clarity we find peace, and through peace we find strength. Michael’s approach to counseling includes techniques from a number of disciplines and predominantly focuses on Cognitive Behavioral, Existential, Client-Centered, and Gestalt therapies.

Alexandra enjoys working with children (ages 10+), teens, adults, and families as they no longer allow anxiety, upbringing, trauma, and difficult life experiences define their day-to-day living. Her areas of focus include play therapy, family therapy, family conflict, separation and divorce, parenting, communication, trauma and PTSD, EMDR, neurodiversity and ADHD, anxiety and stress, self-esteem, self-compassion, and identity work.   Alexandra also has specific, advanced training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), providing an evidenced-based framework to help individuals experience healing from traumatic events, and AutPlay, a specific modality of counseling for neurodivergent children and teens. Alexandra believes humans are designed to intimately connect with others in loving and secure relationships. When connection and safety become broken, behavioral and relational issues and emotional pain can occur. The counseling relationship can provide a safe support to help you or your family restore and rebuild peace and stronger relationships. Alexandra allows a space for children (and often their parents) to play, be active and creative, and feel confident and empowered to express themselves to find healing. She is highly effective in working directly with parents to set goals and better understand their child’s challenges and what they are going through. Alexandra earned a master’s degree in clinical mental counseling with a focus on addiction counseling from the University of North Georgia and a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in applied statistics. She is board-certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) and is licensed as an associate professional counselor under direction and supervision.  In addition to practicing at Atlanta Wellness Collective, Alexandra enjoys weightlifting and connecting with nature through hiking, cooking, and running. You can often find her outside with a cup of coffee and a book or catching the next plane on a new adventure. A note from Alexandra —   “My goal is to create a safe and empathetic environment where you, your child, or your family feel encouraged to heal, learn, and grow. Taking that first step toward healing can feel daunting and stressful. Counseling is a collaborative relationship that can help you transform and gain confidence. You are not alone. I’m excited to work alongside you to grow!”
