I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri with over 8 years experience working with teens, families and adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anger, depression, anxiety, work/life balance, school issues, PTSD, and trauma. I am great at listening and supporting clients to express themselves, problem solve, develop effective coping skills, and brainstorm for better solutions.
My therapy style is client-centered, recognizing that you know yourself better than I do and you are the expert. I am here to facilitate your personal growth and self-reflection. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect unconditionally. I learn from my clients about their unique culture and upbringings. I don't judge you, but will assertively challenge you to work on yourself to reach your goals. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, narrative and other evidence-based interventions. I will tailor our plan to meet your own and specific needs.
Even if we don't get to work together I am glad you are seeking support and I hope you find the right fit for you to achieve your goals.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Alejandra Quintana. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I absolutely have loved our two sessions. She has shown me what a real therapist is like. I appreciate her respect and the way she talks things out with me. 10/10 recommend her!

She really makes me feel heard, comfortable, she really understands and helps to figure things out. The conversation seems genuine

Alex is amazing! I truly feel listened to and supported during our sessions. Most importantly she challenges me and it's greatly helping me overcome my obstacles.
