Gender Counseling

Report

Do you, your child, or your partner identify as trans, nonbinary, or gender-nonconforming? Have you struggled to feel seen or understood by family members or loved ones who have questioned your choices? Perhaps you're starting to question your gender identity and don't even know where to begin. It may feel as though there are endless barriers in the way of you examining the questions you have about yourself.

LGBTQIA+ Counseling

Report

Gay (LGBTQIA+) Affirming Counseling asserts that the gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual + experience is normal and healthy. It is not fringe, unusual and you do not need help/therapy because you identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual. Living in a world that does not often validate who you are or your experiences causes challenges and distress.

Trans Support Groups

Report

Group runs every week, at 8 week intervals. Join for 8 weeks initially. You have the opportunity to join for another 8 weeks at every 8 week interval. This allows the group to have consistent group members without having to make a long-term commitment. Group content is therapist-led. The content includes peer support, therapeutic processing and psycho-education (emotional regulation skills, etc).

Teen and Family Therapy

Report

The teenage years are a normal time of transition, pulling away from parents and turbulence. But when does that veer away from what is considered normal? And how do you as the parent know? How can you best support your child? Finding a therapist who is able to navigate family therapy; seeing your teenager in individual therapy and bringing you in for family therapy is vital.

I have been working with kids, teens, families and adults since 2004. I received a Master's degree in Counseling from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2004. The initial motivation that propelled me to become a counselor was to help kids who were abused and did not have any caring, supportive adults in their lives.

I've been seeing Alex S for 3 years and I can't imagine seeing anyone else. Alex makes it so easy to open up and for you to talk to him. He is super knowledgeable and knows how to help you get to the root of the problem yourself without knowing that's what he's doing which is a big thing for me. His office always smells good too which is a plus 🤷‍♀️ 10/10 would recommend Alex if you're looking for a safe place therapist.

Alex is a former Supervisor and friend of mine. He is extremely knowledgeable, determined and passionate about the work he does for all people. He is genuine, empathetic and generous, always stocked with the best snacks :) I would highly recommend Alex for individual and family therapy.

I have known Alex Stefanini now for 2.5 years and his skill as a therapist is very clear. He's a great listener, but he's so much more than that. He guides you thoughtfully through your experience, helping you to clarify along the way and helping you see your own thought patterns and stuck areas. I have really become a happier person since knowing him.

Alex is a valued colleague. His skill and compassion are remarkable. He is kind, focussed and experienced with caring for people in crisis and facing challenges in daily life. He is also committed to his clients, and to working in a caring and responsive way with each person. He has a real expertise in gender therapy for LGBTQIA+ adults and teens and their families.
I highly recommend him as a therapist.
