Meet Us – Alec
Alec Ducham
Licensed Professional Counselor
I am sure it has been quite a journey that has brought you to the place you are at now, and I commend you for making that first step in getting help and feeling better. Every individual sees the world through their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and I wish to ensure that these factors are acknowledged and respected as you develop as an individual. Every life has its ups and downs, but sometimes it’s good to have a helping hand. To be searching for help is a significant step in improving mental health, and it would be my pleasure to work with you on this journey.
I work with a wide range of different issues, such as depression, anxiety, grief/loss trauma, and stress management. I seek to create an environment where clients can speak their mind without reservation and encourage personal awareness and growth. I find joy in working with individuals age 12 and up.
Why I Chose to Become a Therapist
I chose to be a therapist due to my past experiences with counseling as well as a genuine interest in the wellbeing of others. Mental health is an ongoing process that I find myself surprised by in many ways, and I wish to explore these surprises with others as they follow their own processes. My drive is to both learn more about how your experiences have shaped you and where they can foster growth for a better future.
FAQ
1. How do I know which therapist is right for me?
If you’re unsure who would be the best fit, our team can help guide you.
2. How are your therapists selected?
When matching you with a therapist, we consider your needs and goals as well as the therapist’s experience and availability.
3. Will I have a real person helping me choose a therapist?
You don’t have to search through dozens of therapist profiles and try to determine on your own who might be the right fit.
4. Can I request a specific therapist?
If that therapist isn’t available or isn’t the best clinical fit, our team can help identify another therapist who may be appropriate.
5. What if my therapist isn’t the right fit for me?
If you don’t feel that your therapist is the right fit, we encourage you to communicate with us. Because we are a group practice with therapists who have different specialties and approaches, we may be able to help you find another therapist within our practice who better matches your needs. You should never feel that you have to stay with a therapist simply because you started with them.
6. Can I see another therapist at the practice if my needs change?
One benefit of a group practice is that you have access to therapists with different areas of expertise. Your needs may change over time, and your care can change with them.
7. What happens if my therapist leaves the practice?
As a group practice, we may be able to help you transition to another therapist within our practice who is appropriate for your needs.
8. Do I have to know exactly what I need before contacting you?
No.
You don’t need to know your diagnosis, treatment plan, or even which type of therapist you need before reaching out.
That’s part of what our team is here to help with.
Your mental health starts with you. Let us help you on your journey.
