Alex J. Mock LPCC

I'm a queer, non-binary therapist committed to helping marginalized and minoritized clients as they navigate their life stressors, individual development, interpersonal lives, and mental health concerns. I honor my client's lived experiences and unique healing journeys with a trauma-informed approach and commitment to continuing to grow my understanding of how systemic oppression creates and continues suffering. It is most important to me to build a welcoming, open, and non-judgmental environment through a person-centered focus to understand what your identity means to you, and recognizing the ways your environment, experiences, and relationships impact your perspective and sense of self. My hope is to encourage and empower you as you explore dynamics and patterns within your important roles and relationships, and develop communication and boundary setting skills to support your mental and physical health. I am client-centered therapist guided by a feminist and culturally humble perspective, focusing on individual strengths and goals. I specialize in assisting queer clients with identity development journeys, and supporting transgender and non-binary clients through social, legal, and medical transitions. I am committed to providing an affirming and sex-positive space for LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming clients, and folks in ethically non-monogamous and kink communities. I also conduct assessments in line with WPATH Standards of Care for transgender and non-binary individuals seeking gender affirming procedures, and I write letters of support for clients to give to providers and insurance companies. In these evaluations, I focus on making sure each person is emotionally and financially stable and has a support system prepared to help them recover, and opening up the gates to care by adding any doctor- or insurance-specific requirements to letters as needed.
