I'm a doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience in mental health. My background includes extensive work in crisis intervention and helping people through difficult times. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and schizophrenia. My approach is professional and personable, blending expertise with warmth and humor. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where healing can truly begin.
I have 16 years of counseling experience and work with teens, adults, and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger, trauma, stress, and major life transitions. I also support clients dealing with panic, OCD, sleep concerns, relationship issues, family conflict, and substance use.
My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I take an open-minded, holistic, and solution-oriented approach, and I believe therapy should be tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. I provide therapy in English and French.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward? You're not alone, and finding the right support can make all the difference. I’m Dr. Alex Kohl, and I’ve spent over a decade helping people like you navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. With a PhD in clinical psychology and a specialization in neuropsychology, I combine expertise with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy. I believe that therapy is about more than just addressing symptoms—it's about understanding the whole person. Together, we will explore your unique experiences, set realistic goals, and work toward the future you.
Hello and welcome! I’m a ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) License in GA, MD, and North Dakota. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care across the lifespan. I hold a master’s degree in nursing with specialized training in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and medication management, as well as psychotherapy.
My practice focuses on treating a range of conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, addiction recovery and perinatal mental health concerns. I integrate a client-centered approach that may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive counseling, and lifestyle interventions alongside medication when appropriate.
I believe in building a strong therapeutic alliance rooted in trust, respect, and collaboration. Whether you're seeking support for the first time or continuing your mental health journey, I’m here to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
I love to assist clients to reach their goals big or small. All progress is important during therapy. My empathetic and non-judgemental attributes help clients feel comfortable and safe.
I believe my job as a therapist is to help tap into your most authentic self, and walk alongside you with whatever struggles there may be. My approach to therapy is direct, with the use of humor, analogies, and metaphors; I try to bring every thing together to help make sense in a world that can be confusing. Together we can tackle whatever difficult situation may be occurring in your life and get to the other side.
I have a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. I assist clients to be empowered and learn different coping mechanisms as needed. I create a warm and safe environment for people to discuss their needs.
I am a somatic, parts work therapist. I have training in Somatic Experiencing and I am currently working toward certification in Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF). I have over 7 years in working with trauma survivors of various types and forms of trauma. I specialize in helping adults and teens who are suffering from problematic sexual behavior. I also enjoy helping those who have suffered narcissistic (emotional) abuse. I spent my early years out of school working with clients battling chemical addiction behaviors.
