For cycle-breakers, anxious achievers & recovering people-pleasers.

Together let’s find some clarity and relief. If you’re overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or just tired of carrying it all, you’re in the right place. Therapy with me is warm, real, and judgment-free... whether you're skeptical, burned out, or just finally ready to face the heaviness head-on.

About

I'm glad you're here.

I’m Alexandra "Alex" Heard, LCSW, with almost 15 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults through anxiety, trauma, the overwhelm of overthinking, and heaviness of depression. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with warmth, humanity, and humor. Whether you’re new to therapy or have been disappointed by it before, I’m here to offer a judgment-free space where healing feels authentic and achievable. Together, we’ll work to rebuild trust in the process and create meaningful change. My commitment is to meet you where you are and help you move toward greater clarity, empowerment, and peace. I am currently accepting Aetna, Sentara, and self-pay clients. Accepting other insurances soon!
