Alex Vergara

Hi and welcome!

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHCA) with Simply Teens Outpatient. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Neuroscience from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Wake Forest University. I began my journey with Simply Teens Outpatient in early 2021 as an intern student and worked largely with teens and young adults. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma and are navigating symptoms of anxiety and depression. I am also passionate about working with LGBTQ+ individuals and am proudly affirming of all identities. I believe that each person is unique, and that therapy should reflect that individuality. I use person centered approaches, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, trauma-informed techniques, DBT, and cognitive behavioral (CBT) approaches with my clients. I aim to provide a safe space where you can be yourself and feel supported as you navigate your concerns and take your first steps in making meaningful changes in your life.

I look forward to starting our journey together!
