Alexandra Ainge Cottle , LCMHC, LPC

—About

I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor practising in Utah, with 12 years of clinical experience.

I received my Masters Degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Utah, where I focused my studies on Cognitive Behavioral and Multicultural Counseling.

I have presented to and trained groups in a public setting on effective parenting, self-esteem, anger management, marriage, sex education, self-harm, and grief.

—How I Work

My clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, and Gottman Method.

I value the trust and safety of the therapeutic relationship, and I create a counseling environment that is full of compassion, empathy, understanding, and humor.

I have had my own private practice in mental health counseling where I have worked with hundreds of individuals, couples, and families to resolve conflict and cope with mental health struggles.

—Who I Help

I work with clients on stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, and depression.

I work with individuals of varying backgrounds, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families.
