Welcome

I’m Alex White (he / him). I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Salt Lake City, Utah. I approach my work with more than ten years of experience with a broad range of settings and therapeutic populations, with current specialization working with adults in the helping professions (medical, mental health, etc.).

In 2020, spurred by the collective trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic, I began pursuing advanced clinical training in working with complex and developmental trauma using the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM). With the incredible strain placed on medical and mental health providers during this time - strain that I could relate to in my own life - I began to focus my energy on working therapeutically with the issues affecting those in these professions. As such, the inordinate burden that befell many of us during this period in history. Since then, I have supported these individuals along their journeys of healing burnout, stress, perfectionism, shame and self-criticism, troubled relationships, and secondary traumatization. In my work, I seek to not only understand the challenge at hand, but also explore how it fits into the landscape of a person’s life experience, upbringing, and broader sense of themselves in the world. By creating shifts in these underlying dynamics, we can move towards a way of being in the world that is more content, connected, and empowered.

Of course, along with many of my peers and colleagues, I was not spared from the frustration, isolation, and powerlessness of this time in history. From there, I began my own journey to healing my childhood wounding and developmental patterns, one that parallels those of many of my clients. I’ve learned that this kind of work is a requisite for me in maintaining a safe, compassionate therapeutic space, and it is my commitment to you that I will continue to grow both personally and professionally in order to support you in the work that we undertake together.
