Noor Alexander

Noor Alexander

Saint Petersburg, FL
Noor Alexander is a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples fully participate in life. She primarily works with spiritually-inclined and growth-oriented clients who find themselves stuck in a cycle of self-fixing and are waiting to embrace life in a profound way. Noor understands that her clients long for ease, peace, and freedom, often feeling anxious about 'wasting time' and are eager to seize the opportunities of their precious lives. She guides her clients in embracing their humanness, reclaiming their power, and creating a life filled with profound aliveness aligned with their souls and purpose. Noor also specializes in supporting couples in forging conscious relationships and reaching new depths of connection. She empowers her clients to break free from self-pathology and the project mentality surrounding self-improvement, encouraging self-acceptance, radical self-trust, and purposeful living. Noor believes that symptoms are not merely troubles to be healed, but feelings that need to be held, and that pain can be a guiding path rather than a pathology. She invites individuals and couples to embark on a journey of releasing the attachment to suffering and choosing life fully once again. With Noor's warm guidance, life waits, patiently and eagerly, to be embraced and lived. It’s time to Finally Begin, Now.
