Alex Ozon, RCT, CCC
(she/her)
Therapeutic Approach:
I recognize that both love and pain are a natural part of the human experience, and that intentional well-being begins with developing a deeper understanding of ourselves and our patterns.
My work is intentionally guided by an integrative approach to therapy that is tailored to each person’s unique needs. Treatment guided by trauma-informed and attachment-based perspectives, and incorporates mindfulness, self-compassion, and acceptance-based strategies.
I’m particularly interested in how past experiences shape present patterns, and how increasing awareness can support meaningful change. Our work includes balancing insight with experience — helping you move out of constant thinking and into a more connected, regulated relationship with your emotions.
My Core Values
-
Authenticity
Authenticity means being connected to your inner experience — your thoughts, emotions, and needs — and moving toward choices that reflect who you truly are.
-
Openness and Curiosity
I value approaching both ourselves and others with openness and curiosity. This creates space for deeper understanding, new perspectives, and a more compassionate, non-judgmental way of relating.
-
Self-Compassion
Self-compassion involves meeting yourself with kindness and understanding, especially in moments of difficulty, rather than harsh self-criticism.
-
Common humanity
We all experience pain, struggle, and imperfection. Remembering this can soften feelings of isolation and help us relate to ourselves and others with greater understanding.
-
Vulnerability
Vulnerability allows for meaningful connection. While it can feel risky, it also opens the door to deeper relationships, authenticity, and emotional closeness.
-
Courage
Courage involves showing up authentically, expressing your needs, and making choices that support your well-being — even when it feels uncomfortable.
