I specialize in working with adults with eating disorders and disordered eating, and the conditions that often co-occur with eating concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma. I also have an extensive research background in chronic fatigue syndrome (sometimes called myalgic encephalomyelitis or ME/CFS) and have worked on multiple NIH-funded studies; I am aware of the unique challenges faced by individuals living with ME/CFS and other poorly understood, stigmatized health conditions. I provide evidence-based interventions that are tailored to my client’s needs and progress. I have experience working in eating disorder residential/day programs, university counseling centers, and community mental health centers. As a community psychologist, I also have a strong commitment to social justice, to working with those whose identities have been marginalized, and to understanding the impact of cultural/social context on mental health. I believe that establishing a collaborative, safe, and trusting relationship is the foundation of any effective therapy. In therapy, clients will learn new skills and strategies for coping with life’s demands and will gain insight into what contributes to and maintains unfulfilling behavioral, emotional, and relational patterns.

I once had a client compare meeting a new therapist to being on a blind date. No one therapist approaches challenges the same way and we are all unique just like you. While it may feel like being on a blind date, reading a therapist’s bio is a way to take some of the guesswork out of the equation. I received my M.S. in Counseling Psychology from Frostburg State University in 2005 and became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2013. Over the years I have had the privilege of working with a diverse population of individuals including LGBTQ+ and adults with Mild Intellectual Disability. While my counseling background is primarily based in CBT, I also draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. One of the aspects I love regarding counseling is there can be more than one way to achieve a desired outcome, meaning everyone’s therapeutic journey is uniquely different. We can talk, draw, create sensory bottles, do simple yoga poses - the only thing we are limited by is our imagination.

Do people ask how you are doing and the answer is always “fine” or “ok”? Or maybe you avoid letting yourself feel uncomfortable emotions? Possibly putting off facing them until you feel more ready, but that day never comes? Depression, anxiety, and trauma can do that to us. They can change our trajectory in life, veer us off course of who we were meant to be. Shadows from the past can loom over us forever. If this is your experience, my sincerest hope is one day you will feel ready to no longer allow your past to place limits on the future. With my 14 years of experience in the field, my goal is to promote a safe space for us to fully understand your experience. Using a nonjudgmental approach, we will explore the ways you want to feel, what's standing in the way, and how to get you where you want to be. It takes courage to choose you, to take the time and do the work to invest in yourself. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. It is brave to share yourself with a stranger. I'd be honored for the opportunity to share your journey and together figure out how to get closer to the life you were meant to live. A life with purpose and fulfillment. You deserve a sense of passion and a life of worth. You deserve a life without limits.

I use the humanistic/existential approach based on works of Vicktor Frankl, Abraham Maslow and one of my teachers Irv Yalom. Simply put this approach is about the belief that the ability to heal ourselves is within us and our job as mental health professionals is to create a safe and nurturing environment to promote personal growth, self-actualization and to help people create a life worth living. This is done by the clinician and client creating what Martin Buber calls the I-THOU relationship. The I- THOU relationship is based on mutual trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard.

Life tends to throw us curve balls. With all of our energy spent juggling obligations, responsibilities, and managing daily stresses, it's easy to wake up one day and realize that you just feel "stuck." Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult, but it's the first step towards regaining control of your life. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, experiencing relationship difficulties, or just want a different perspective on whatever is holding you back, I'm here to help you navigate and overcome these challenges. Every person's situation is unique. I do not treat the therapeutic process as "one-size-fits all." While my theraputic approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, I utilize CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, expressive art, and play therapy techniques. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing a variety concerns, involving mood disorders, ADHD and behavioral issues, sexuality and gender exploration, identity development, family of origin issues, interpersonal conflicts, and unresolved trauma. I believe that the most important aspect of a successful therapy experience is a strong, authentic relationship with your therapist, which is why I emphasize developing trust and respect in order to create a comfortable, supportive space for you to work towards personal growth and a happier, more satisfying life.

I specialize in working with teens and young adults using their own personal strengths to achieve attainable goals. I draw from various interventions/approaches including EMDR, CBT, and ACT. “Sometimes we have the key to a better life but we just need someone to show us where we left it.” - Lori Gottlieb.

Hello, my name is Alexandria “Alex” Arthur. I am here to help guide you through your trauma recovery. Congratulations on taking that first step into your emotional wellness! Life is tough but so are you! You do not have to feel stuck, weighed down, unmotivated, or like you have lost your spark! Lets discover some of those new tools of success together. I provide a non-judgmental, reliable, compassionate, and committed environment. With my person-centered therapy techniques, you will be put at the center of all we do for your mental health. I adhere to all ethical principles and treat people with the dignity and respect they deserve. I am a LMHP-R. I am in the Doctoral program with LU and am specializing in Traumatology.

If you are feeling disconnected, helpless, or stuck, I can assist you in changing the patterns and ways of relating which might be holding you back. By prioritizing your sense of safety, welcoming heavy emotions, and guiding you to meet/heal unknown parts of yourself or your partner, you can gain freedom from the patterns in which you feel trapped. I work with individuals and couples, supporting them to understand the ways they manage stress through retreating inward and shutting down, or turning outwards for connection and validation. From there, I help clients to better understand who they are and what they need. I work with couples to calm their painful patterns by learning how to avoid their well-worn dance, share what happens on the inside of them during moments of stress or conflict, and be more responsive when their partner reaches for them. Where there have been fractures in trust or security, it is possible to repair these hurts and restore emotional security. Connecting with yourself and others can be scary, especially if it has caused pain in the past. The behaviors causing us the most difficulty are oftentimes our best attempts at feeling calm, safe, or worthy. You deserve to experience peace and wholeness, individually or as a couple.
