Alex Weinstock, LCSWA
Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate
I believe counseling cannot be successful without honesty, openness to change, dedication, hard work, and strength. People come to counseling for many reasons, but most people seek counseling because they want a “change” in their life. Please keep in mind that this “change” may, at times, be challenging, difficult, and possibly painful. However, the goal should always be to bring about some positive change within you. Therapy should provide a safe place to explore behaviors, thoughts, and feelings about yourself and others in your life and allow you the opportunity to practice new ways of thinking and/or interacting in a safe environment before utilizing these skills in the “real world.”

In my fifteen plus years of counseling my areas of experience have included working with children, adolescents , adults , and families including group work. I utilize several orientations including Person-Centered and Cognitive-Behavioral orientations. Counseling is a process where the counselor facilitates exploration, clarification and identification of needs and which helps you make changes in thoughts and behaviors that can improve the attainment of life satisfaction and self-acceptance. I employ my diverse training and integrate an array of therapeutic interventions that will hopefully yield the best results for you and the issues presented.
