Meet Alex Vergara

Hey there and welcome! My name is Alex and I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC). Every journey begins with one first step and I aim to help you uncover what path is best for you in your therapeutic journey. My passion lies in helping people find new ways to regulate emotions and improve daily functioning, two challenges that can feel incredibly overwhelming.

I received my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University and have experience counseling teens, young adults, and adults. I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) – informed approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed approaches, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness in my sessions. 

Therapy can feel overwhelming at first, and my goal is to help create a safe and validating space for clients to overcome that barrier. Together, we can uncover new ways to build upon your strengths and overcome obstacles. I believe that every person is capable of achieving their goals. As your therapist, I will create an environment that honors your individuality to best support you and your needs as we work together. I firmly believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of success and enjoy getting to know my clients, their interests, and concerns.

I am looking forward to getting to know you and working together!
