Tina Alexander, Certified Art Therapy Practitioner, Intern

---

 I’m a counseling intern and Certified Art Therapy Practitioner with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting individuals with a wide range of mental health challenges. I’m currently pursuing a second Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and offer services at a reduced rate under the supervision of Shirley Ryland, LCSW and owner of Alexandria Counseling.

I use a variety of approaches in my work, including:

• Person-centered therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Narrative theory
   

One of my greatest passions is blending art with therapy. Through Expressive Arts Therapy, I combine psychology and the creative process to support emotional healing and growth. For those who struggle to express feelings with words, art can be a powerful outlet for self-discovery and change.

Expressive Arts Therapy is for everyone—children, adults, individuals, and groups. I believe deeply in the healing power of creativity and strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth.
