Heather Alexander, LPC, has worked in education for more than 25 years-as a licensed athletic trainer, an educator and for the last 15 years, as a high school counselor. She completed her undergraduate degree at TCU and earned her Master’s Degree from TWU. She has worked in the high school setting throughout her career, but has also worked with younger students and adults. While her driving theory is Adlerian, she works to meet clients where they are, with the therapeutic tools best suited to the growth and progress of the client. These tools include elements of cognitive behavioral strategies, solution focused approaches as well as mindfulness and self regulation awareness. The use of analogy and the ability to relate the client’s experiences to outside interests is a particular gift that allows her to relate to clients from unique perspectives and often results in a quick rapport that allows the therapeutic relationship to be a safe and welcoming environment. Her interests are reading, movies, TCU football, and spending time with her family and friends.
