Dr. Alexavery Hawkins
Psychologist, PhD
As a psychologist, I find joy and fulfillment getting to help people become the best versions of themselves. Whether it is working through conflicts in intimate relationships/families, religious trauma, eating/body image concerns, or exploring gender, neurodiversity, sexuality, or other areas of identity, I offer clients the unique experience of being seen, heard, and affirmed. Working from a place of collaboration and creativity, we will tailor your therapy experience to be one that meets or even exceeds your goals for self-improvement and inspires hope and growth in your personal life.

Valiant Minds Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ADHD-CCSP, CCATP
I believe that every person, no matter their circumstances or struggles, has a valiant mind. Therefore, I believe that each of my clients are the experts of their own life and that my job is to meet each client wherever they currently are on their journey and to walk alongside them in order to help facilitate growth and change. In 2004, I graduated from Chatham University with a Masters in Counseling Psychology and have since gained extensive experience in the treatment of adult and childhood psychological and neurobehavioral disorders. My sessions predominantly use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, where I help my clients to understand how their thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors. I also use other psychotherapy techniques that provide comprehensive perspectives to my clients and enhance mind, body such as positive psychology, existentialist philosophy, and mindfulness meditation. My goal is to help my clients broaden their awareness, challenge problematic patterns, learn healthy coping skills, live mindfully and confidently, and seek their unique version of joy. Above all, I am committed to creating therapeutic relationships that are built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy, honesty, and equality, and I always counsel from a nonjudgmental place of understanding and compassion.

Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
Practicing as a psychologist over the last 30 years has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I have been privileged to be invited into the lives of individuals and couples who are suffering and help them find their way to peaceful, fulfilling lives and relationships. Having walked the road from abuse, suffering, tragedy, and mental health disorders to healing myself, I feel especially equipped to help others do the same. Knowing that healing oneself and one’s relationships is possible from personal experience, I am passionate about paying forward the lessons and wisdom I was given.
