Nikki Alexander

Hello! My name is Carlene, but I go by Nikki and I am a mental health counselor, licensed in Florida. I am passionate about providing care to individuals struggling to manage anxiety, depression, and other life stressors that can impact our day to day functioning.  My approach to therapy is to provide a safe space where people can become empowered and develop autonomy through evidenced based interventions to include mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I strive to make a difference in building connection and transformation in my clients lives.

I have several neurodivergent family members and have worked with the autistic community for over 10 years. My experience through interactions with family, colleagues, and clients has helped me gain better insight in the neurodivergent individuals perspective including a unique way of seeing the world. I'm excited to work together in finding new and creative ways to help clients reach their goals.

I believe in assisting my clients to be the most authentic version of themselves through the therapeutic process. This is done by removing a marginalized lens of what societal expectations have been placed on autistic adults. Utilizing strengths based interventions and committing to identifying personal strengths through collaboration and support is my goal in building client self efficacy.
