Specializes In:
Avery Alexander supports children, adolescents, adults, and families across Utah with a compassionate, strengths-based approach tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at LifeStance Health, Avery provides individual, couples, and family therapy, helping clients navigate life’s challenges, heal from emotional pain, and strengthen their relationships. She creates a safe and inclusive space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered throughout their therapeutic journey. Avery is especially passionate about working with individuals navigating gender identity, childhood behavioral challenges, and school avoidance. She believes early intervention and affirmation are essential for youth struggling with identity development or disruptive behavior, and she partners closely with families to build understanding, improve communication, and restore balance. For school-aged children and teens, Avery helps address the underlying emotional and behavioral factors that contribute to avoidance and disengagement, supporting long-term academic and emotional success. She is experienced in treating a broad range of mental health conditions including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, depression, and substance use. Avery also offers evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy. She has a strong commitment to supporting the LGBTQ+ community, individuals with autism spectrum disorders, and those with adoption or foster care backgrounds. Outside of her clinical work, Avery enjoys reading and volunteering with youth sports. Her dedication to service, combined with her inclusive and culturally responsive care, makes her a trusted resource for individuals and families seeking mental health support in Utah.
