Alex Schrum, LCSW, is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and therapist who understands that being at peace with oneself can be a daunting journey. For many, extending the kindness that comes so naturally to others becomes a challenge, especially for those who prioritize the needs of others over their own. Many individuals find their self-worth tied to their ability to be useful, leading to conflicting feelings of being both 'not enough' and 'too much'. Alex specializes in helping clients cultivate a more compassionate relationship with themselves, allowing them to express their authentic selves in their connections with others. With experience in supporting individuals who grapple with people-pleasing tendencies and harsh self-criticism, Alex employs a range of therapeutic methods, including EMDR, to assist clients in processing past trauma. Those who have experienced intimate partner violence or sexual assault can find a compassionate ally in Alex. The most challenging step in healing often lies in reaching out for support. For anyone who has found themselves compromising their own needs to keep the peace, Alex aims to help them break free from this cycle of self-abandonment and foster a strong foundation for personal growth. Alex is committed to guiding clients on their healing journeys with sensitivity and understanding.
