CLINICAL FOCUS
Hello there! I’m Alex McDuffie, and I’m a licensed counselor experienced in working with a variety of populations who have lived through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, crisis, and difficulty adjusting to life experiences. My career has led me to work in outpatient, inpatient, and day treatment settings with children, teens, and adults. It has been an honor to walk alongside others in their journeys to healing, and my hope is that I can continue to learn and grow to further support our communities.
Having been in therapy myself as a teenager and adult, I know that it's important that people feel accepted and valued in the counseling space. I aim to exercise openness, curiosity, sincerity, and safety when meeting with others in our time while also being unafraid to be direct, challenge, and encourage people to step outside of their comfort zones. Currently, I am trained in EMDR, sand tray therapy, and TF-CBT. I also utilize CBT, mindfulness, and person-centered skills in my sessions. For the times where words may not quite satisfy or are hard to find, I also provide expressive arts as a means to explore and process aspects of our stories.
Ultimately, I believe that people are the experts of themselves and am passionate in supporting people in meeting their goals, extending grace to themselves, and reminding them that they do in fact matter.
IN MY SPARE TIME
Finding a balance between fun and quiet time has been crucial for me over the years. In my spare time I am often playing around with traditional or digital art. I enjoy going to community events that support the arts and self-expression with coffee in hand. Over the years I have also loved attending concerts with friends. If I’m not out and about, I am at home with my two snorty dogs, trying to get into football, and contemplating baking something sweet.
