Alex Shauger (LCSW) specializes in relationships, life transitions, and anxiety. She is a transplant to Texas from New Jersey, relocating after finishing her graduate degree in 2016 from Rutgers. Her approach is relational and solution-focused, providing support while focusing on strengths to create and meet goals. She is direct and uses humor and conversation along with interventions to increase self-awareness and create positive change. Fun fact: she enjoys true crime!
As a relational therapist, her focus is on how relationships shape your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Alex works with individuals, couples, and families to explore the patterns in their interactions and understand how past experiences, like their childhood or past relationships, may be affecting how they create and interact with their current relationships. She believes that healing and growth can happen through the relationships we form, including the therapeutic relationship, where we can explore trust, communication, and vulnerability. In addition, she also use interventions from DBT, CBT, and solution focused approaches to create healthy goals and help clients achieve desired changes.
