Stitched Therapy and Consulting LLC

Hi, my name is Dr. Alexandra Lawless, and I am a native of Miami, Florida, but I currently reside in Louisiana with my husband and stepdaughter. My hobbies include spending time with my husband and daughter- we love to cook new recipes. I enjoy traveling, going to the movies, eating at new restaurants, leisure television watching, shopping, and reading peer-reviewed journal articles. I am currently an active Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in the state of Louisiana; a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC). My educational training consists of a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Counseling with a specialization in Marriage, Family, and Couples Counseling; a Master of Arts in Counselor Education, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. As a licensed counselor, I have worked with individuals and their families using the following counseling modalities: individual, family, couples (including married couples), and group therapy. I have worked for Florida’s Department of Juvenile Justice, a local charter school in Louisiana, and severed as a Clinical Director and consultant for several local community mental health agencies over the past few years. My approach to counseling can be best described as a collaborative relationship between the counselor and the client, where the counselor and client explore and define the client’s problem, identify goals, and work together to improve the quality of life client. The counseling session is your time to discuss your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The counseling process is an extremely personal and challenging process of which you decide what the goals are. My job is to reflect, provide feedback, and support any positive decisions, which you decide to make. I am a good listener, caring, sensitive to the needs of others, and energetic. “Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.” -Lisa Olivera “Success as a therapist is not found in doing something for the client, but rather in being someone for the client.” – Ili Rivera Walter What can I be for you, today?
