Psychodrama Therapists in Jacksonville, FL

I believe that the work we do with others is deeply influenced by the work we are willing to do within ourselves. My own healing journey has profoundly shaped the therapist I am today. I have experienced my own process of moving through old patterns, becoming more deeply connected to myself, learning to listen to my body and intuition, and discovering that healing is not about becoming someone different. It is about coming home to who we truly are. I consider myself both a therapist and an intuitive healer and guide. I bring my clinical training and professional experience together with a deep trust in intuition, the wisdom of the body, and the idea that there is often more happening beneath the surface than what we can immediately see or explain. I pay attention not only to what you tell me, but also to what I sense may be asking for attention within the therapeutic space. My hope is that you feel deeply seen, heard, and accepted when you are with me. You do not need to have the right words, understand exactly what is wrong, or arrive with everything figured out. We can begin wherever you are. I feel honored to walk alongside people during some of the most vulnerable and transformative chapters of their lives. I don't see myself as someone who has all the answers, but rather as someone who can help you listen more deeply to your own inner wisdom and reconnect with the parts of yourself that already know the way forward.

I have a calling; helping people and seeing growth and change has been my lifelong passion. My focus is on self-knowledge, personal development, independence, and stress management. With a background as an occupational therapist and a master's in clinical social worker, I am equipped to assist you to clarify your values and goals to achieve balance and happiness. I believe that, despite all the trauma and personal challenges you have faced, with proper help, you can grow and develop into the person you were meant to be. And finally, feel peaceful and accomplished, living the life of your dreams.

I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and a Certified EMDR Therapist. My specialties are Relationships, Sex Therapy, and Trauma Recovery. I offer Three Day Intensives as well as In-Person and Video sessions.

Hello, I'm Alex Kawliche, and I warmly welcome you to a space where your mental health and personal growth are nurtured with the utmost care. Imagine a sanctuary where every aspect of your being is understood and supported, where your challenges are met with compassion and expertise. That's the heart of my counseling service.

I’ve spent a lot of time developing expertise in the issues I work with; however, I rely equally on my heart and gut sense in working with each client uniquely. I have a straightforward, common-sense style and know the value of elbow grease in making life changes. Trauma in all its forms is the thread that connects the different life problems I specialize in working with. I don’t believe in having only one tool in my toolbox, any more than I believe in having only one trauma treatment available to help you. Let’s figure out what tools work best for you, whether that be EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brain Spotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, or the Safe and Sound Protocol. We currently have openings for intensives, men's and women's groups, and online workshops.

Jacksonville is home to one of the largest U.S. Navy installations in the country, making it a city with outsized demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, deployment-related adjustment, and military family dynamics. The city's sprawling geography and car-dependent layout can contribute to social isolation, and therapists here frequently address loneliness, relationship issues, and depression tied to the challenges of building community in a dispersed city. Baptist Health and UF Health Jacksonville provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Many Jacksonville therapists offer telehealth to reach clients spread across Duval County's wide geography.
