Alexa Nachreiner

Hello! My name is Alexa.

 

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) candidate with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Western Washington University (2019). My academic background and professional experience have provided a strong foundation in understanding human behavior, emotional health, and the systems that shape well-being.

Over the past six years, I’ve had the privilege of working in a range of behavioral health roles, including intensive outpatient case management, crisis counseling on the regional mental health crisis line, and training facilitation for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. These experiences have allowed me to work with diverse populations, navigate complex emotional needs, and develop a grounded, compassionate approach to mental health care.

 

My integrative counseling approach draws from cognitive-behavioral and humanistic techniques, grounded in trauma-informed and person-centered principles. I aim to meet clients where they are—supporting the exploration of core beliefs that shape current functioning, deepening insight, and fostering resilience through practical, collaborative skill building.

 

I specialize in supporting clients with:

• Managing anxiety, worry, and overthinking

• Building emotional awareness and improving emotion regulation

• Developing and maintaining effective coping strategies

• Strengthening executive functioning skills such as organization, focus, and follow-through

• Exploring core beliefs and patterns that influence relationships and self-perception

• Supporting meaning making, identity development, and personal growth

• Enhancing self-esteem, confidence, and alignment with personal values

• Cultivating resilience in the face of life transitions, stress, and uncertainty

 

Outside of my professional work, I value movement, connection, and balance—spending time with loved ones, staying active, and engaging in self-care practices that nourish both mind and body.

 

As an LMHCA-candidate, I practice under the supervision of Hannah Lewis, LMHC (LIC: LH60940655), and am committed to providing ethical, collaborative, and evidence-informed care as I work toward full licensure.
