Adele Stuckey

At Alexandria Art Therapy, we don’t expect you to have all the answers. We know that stressful experiences are made even more stressful when we can’t find the words to describe them. That’s why we use art therapy and counseling to help you release, rewrite, and heal stories from the past. The creative process lets you transcend traditional talk therapy to get right to the heart of the matter and rediscover your own version of wellbeing.

Evan Harris

Are you afraid that your proclivities towards kink or polyamory/ethical non-monogamy are due to trauma? I would almost certainly disagree. Are you afraid that if you see a therapist for your trauma they'll attribute your kinkiness or poly-ness to that trauma? I won't. Ever. Imagine a life without anxiety, inexplicable anger, deep sadness, or panic attacks. You're feeling like there must be a better way to live; I can help you find it.

Abbie Daigle

I enjoy working with people of all ages, especially teens and young adults who may be exploring their identity and navigating life transitions. My goal is for therapy to be a vehicle to help get you to where you want to go. I believe strongly that therapy is not a "one size fits all" approach, and I trust that a client is the expert in their own life experience. To this end, my approach to therapy is integrative and tailored to the individual wants and needs identified by each client!

Meghan McDonald

Clients come to me because they feel ready for something to change, but they're unsure of how to take the next step. Together, we reflect on what's been holding them back, and consider what it might take to get to a healthier place. I work primarily with couples and families to improve communication patterns and strengthen relationships. Using an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, we explore the roots of why we do what we do and consider new ways of moving forward through life.
