Veronica Alexander, clinical social worker associate

---

I was born and raised in Humboldt County, CA amongst the tall Redwoods and beautiful Pacific Ocean. I have spent the majority of my adult life living in different parts of the lovely state of Oregon. I am the proud mom of four adult children. I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, and traveling. 

I am a recent graduate of Widener University with my Master’s

in Social Work. My goal in therapy is to help people become the best versions of themselves. Over the years, I have had my own various struggles. This has given me a heart’s desire to help and serve others. I want to meet you where you are at and work collaboratively to help you overcometrauma and life circumstances, in an effort to help you reach your goals.

I work primarily with women’s issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, neurodivergent individuals, and people processing various forms of trauma  including developmental, relational, and complex trauma. I strive to create a space where masking and survival strategies can be gently examined, not judged. 

Therapy with me often involves reconnecting with parts of the self that have been dismissed, silenced, or misunderstood. My clinical approach blends attachment-focused work and practical tools for emotional regulation and nervous systemsupport. Much of my work involves unlearning internalized ableism, perfectionism, and productivity-based self-worth. I see therapy not as a place to “fix” people, but as a space toexplore what it means to feel safe, empowered, and authentic  often for the first time.

 I welcome clients exactly as they are  whether they communicate through words, silence, movement, or emotion  and work collaboratively to build trust and safety at a pace that feels respectful and sustainable. Outside the therapy room, I continue to learn from the autistic and trauma survivor communities, whose voices deeply inform my practice. I believe healing is possible when we’re met with curiosity, presence, and respect.
