I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I work with adults navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping clients build insight, coping skills, and meaningful change.

Scott P. liked thisScott P. liked thisShrinking might be the most psychologically influential show about therapy on television right now…That's exactly what worries me. I genuinely love this show. Three seasons in and it remains one of the warmest, funniest, most human things streaming. But Jimmy Laird is a terrible therapist. And would likely lose his licence in the real world. Not because he doesn't care. He cares enormously. That's precisely the problem. He tells clients what to do. Inserts himself into their lives. Ignores therapeutic neutrality and crosses boundaries that exist for reasons the show never gets around to explaining. And every time he does it, the music lifts. The lighting warms. The client has a breakthrough. Shrinking has built a cinematic grammar in which boundary violations feel like breakthroughs. A therapist's self-disclosure feels like intimacy. The rules of ethical practice feel like the obstacle standing between a suffering person and the help they actually need. Here's what the show is teaching: Good therapy means a therapist who cares enough to break the rules. Real connection means one who enters your world, becomes part of your life and boundaries are bureaucracy. But therapeutic boundaries don't exist to protect a therapist's professional standing. They exist to protect the client's autonomy. Their right to disagree, resist, and not be managed by someone who holds significant psychological power over them. A client cannot freely push back against a therapist who is also their rescuer and uninvited life-arranger. What looks like liberation on screen is often the removal of the one thing therapy is supposed to safeguard most fiercely. Shrinking doesn't depict bad therapy. It depicts bad therapy made to look indistinguishable from good therapy, and uses every cinematic tool available to make sure you never stop to ask which one you're watching. That gap between what the screen shows and what is actually happening is where I work.I spent 20 years producing stories. I’m now training as a clinical psychologist. I started Lex Alexander because that gap has real consequences. Not just for how audiences understand mental health, but for what they expect when they finally walk into a real therapy room… And what they accept when the therapist sitting across from them looks nothing like Jimmy Laird. In mental health services we have a name for that. A barrier to care. Because the moment therapy fails to look like the story people were taught to expect, it can feel like bad therapy. Even when it’s the opposite. #wearewhatwewatch Shrinking is Streaming on Apple TV+

EMDR sessions don’t need to be intense to be effective—but they do need to be well-paced. Here are three research-aligned adjustments that can support client safety and reduce overwhelm during processing: • Chunk targets into shorter sets with brief tolerance check-ins • Reinforce containment with a simple, portable image rehearsed in advance • Use multi-sensory grounding (body, breath, tactile cues) between sets These small clinical shifts often improve stability, session flow, and treatment outcomes. 🔍 Explore extended EMDR resources and clinical guidance for therapists:https://lnkd.in/eij8zqRz #EMDR #TraumaInformedCare #ClinicalPractice

What we label as “defensive” or “closed” in addiction treatment is often something else entirely. Yes, clients may shut down, challenge feedback, or push back. But when we use terms like resistant, guarded, manipulative, or unwilling, we risk describing trauma responses as character flaws. These words imply a chosen stance, a deliberate refusal to engage. But more often, what we're seeing is: -Shame that hasn’t found language --Fear disguised as defiance ---The nervous system in survival mode ----A history of not being safe enough to trust Instead of naming the behaviour as a barrier, we can shift to framing it as information: **What might this person be protecting themselves from? **What’s underneath the reaction? **How can I stay regulated enough to stay curious? This doesn’t mean we don’t hold boundaries or invite accountability. But it does mean we slow down and make space for meaning before judgment. Therapeutic work begins where our language makes room, not just to describe, but to understand. #AddictionTreatment #TraumaInformedCare #ClinicalCuriosity #ReflectivePractice #CompassionateCare #LanguageMatters #RecoveryWork #TherapeuticRelationship #MentalHealthProfessionals #EthicalCare #NervousSystemAwareness

Emmalee Bierly LMFT and I are excited to share that The Therapy Group has officially joined the Lumina Therapy Alliance, a curated national network of elite, brick-and-mortar therapy practices. What makes Lumina special is its focus on quality: deeply vetted private practices, doctorate and master’s-level clinicians, strong clinical oversight, and beautiful in-person spaces designed to support real, relationship-based healing. It’s a community of practices that share our commitment to thoughtful, high-quality care, not a mass-market teletherapy model. For us, this partnership lets us expand our impact while staying true to who we are: a practice built on warmth, relationship-centered care and meaningful clinical work. We’re so excited to share the kind of meaningful, relationship-centered care we believe in with even more people.

EMDR vs. Antidepressants "A randomized clinical trial of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), fluoxetine, and pill placebo in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder: treatment effects and long-term maintenance... ...The psychotherapy intervention was more successful than pharmacotherapy in achieving sustained reductions in PTSD and depression symptoms, but this benefit accrued primarily for adult-onset trauma survivors. At 6-month follow-up, 75.0% of adult-onset versus 33.3% of child-onset trauma subjects receiving EMDR achieved asymptomatic end-state functioning compared with none in the fluoxetine group... This study supports the efficacy of brief EMDR treatment to produce substantial and sustained reduction of PTSD and depression in most victims of adult-onset trauma.... Future research should assess the impact of lengthier intervention, combination treatments, and treatment sequencing on the resolution of PTSD in adults with childhood-onset trauma." #clinicaltrial #posttraumaticstress #stressdisorder #EMDR #therapist #mentalhealth

Now offered in a hybrid option - online or in person! I’ve been very excited about teaching psychodramtic structures as they offer newer facilitators with a template for using psychodrama interventions without the need for so many hours of training. This workshop will teach multiple psychodrama structures, pulling from my forthcoming book, including The Little Willingness, Angle of Opportunity/Denial Buster, Timeline structures, Recovery Courtroom, and Inner Conflict.

EMDR intensives aren’t “faster therapy.” They’re deeper, more spacious containers. Instead of squeezing healing into a 50-minute hour, intensives allow: – extended nervous system regulation – more continuity – less disruption between sessions – time to integrate, not rush For some people, this format feels more humane — especially when life is already full.

EMDR Intensives for High Achievers High-achieving professionals often delay therapy because they “don’t have time.” But the nervous system doesn’t wait until your calendar clears. EMDR Intensives offer a structured option for those who want meaningful progress without weekly appointments for months.

Before EMDR: EMD and EMDr for Recent Traumatic Events | [EMD] "is not about reprocessing. It is purely about desensitizing memories that bring severe dysregulation so that the client can manage their affect more effectively. It is about lowering or even eliminating the level of disturbance associated with a particular memory... EMDr is a small narrowing of the driving lanes. It still involves reprocessing and is still about desensitization. It is used when the client finds it very hard to stay focused on the target memory and tends to make connections to many other memories that produce a feeling of overwhelm and emotional flooding. EMDr still requires an ability to tolerate affect, to work within the window of tolerance and maintain dual attention but the focus is kept more narrowly on the selected memory and on the channels that are clearly connected to that target. The client is not encouraged to 'free-range' but to stay within the slightly narrowed traffic lanes." | #criticalincident #traumaresponse #emdr https://lnkd.in/eEGTtpKh

AuDHD is not an official diagnosis. It is not recognized in DSM-5 or ICD-11 and is used informally to describe the co-occurrence of ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ADHD + ASD). Oversimplified comparison charts often confuse behavioral descriptions with diagnostic criteria. Diagnosis is not made by infographics, but through careful evaluation, developmental history, and standardized assessment.
