Alex Beaudry, MA, LPC-IT

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

You may be navigating changes in your body, relationships, career, identity, or family life. Perhaps you are exploring your childhood experiences and the narrative you are living out. You may be questioning long-held beliefs or rethinking what you want for your life. Or you may be a preteen or teenager working through anxiety, emotions, relationships, or the complicated process of growing up—or a parent looking for support as you navigate these years alongside your child.

These transitions can leave us feeling uncertain about who we are and what comes next. Therapy can offer a place to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and explore what you genuinely believe and want for your life without judgment or pressure to arrive at a particular answer.

My Approach

My approach is collaborative, relational, and grounded in an understanding of how our experiences, relationships, and nervous systems shape the way we move through the world. I draw from relational psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, family systems therapy, parts work, and object relations, allowing our work together to be shaped by your experiences, needs, and goals.

I won't ask you to fit into a rigid formula for change. Instead, we'll work together to understand what's happening, identify the patterns that may be affecting you, and find approaches that feel supportive and useful. I believe therapy works best when there is room for curiosity, honesty, and a genuine therapeutic relationship.

Women's Health & Life Transitions

I have a passion for supporting women as they navigate what can at times feel like the impossible task of being human. This can look like navigating the weight of contradictory societal standards, shifts in identity, exploring the intersection of your physical health and mental health, career changes, or even support during pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood.

My hope is that however you understand your identity as a woman, that therapy can be a space where you can feel seen, known, and cared for.

Preteens & Teens

Adolescence can be complicated for both kids and for the people who love them. I work with preteens and teens navigating anxiety, changing friendships, family relationships, identity, self-esteem, emotions, and the transition toward greater independence.

I also work with parents of preteens and teens who are navigating the challenges of this stage themselves—whether you're struggling to understand what your child needs, adjusting to changes in your relationship, working through conflict, or simply trying to figure out how to support your child while also taking care of yourself.

Whether I'm working with a preteen/teen or a parent, my goal is to create a space where you can speak honestly, feel understood, and explore what you need without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out.

Faith, Spirituality & Changing Beliefs

I work with people who are questioning, leaving, rebuilding, or simply re-examining their relationship with faith and spirituality. This might include navigating religious or spiritual wounds, changing beliefs, setting boundaries with religious communities or family members, or figuring out what you believe now that you've stepped outside of the framework you grew up with. I also work with individuals wanting support integrating their faith and spirituality into their mental health care.

You don't need to have your beliefs completely figured out. Therapy can be a place to explore your questions honestly, without being pushed toward or away from any particular faith tradition.

Areas of Interest

I am especially drawn to working with individuals seeking support with:

• Anxiety, overwhelm, and self-esteem

• Relationships and family dynamics

• Identity and life transitions

• Women's mental health and major life transitions

• Pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood

• Preteen and adolescent mental health

• Faith deconstruction and changing beliefs

• Religious and spiritual concerns

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an early childhood educator. I've also had the privilege of working with Afghan refugees in Athens, Greece, along with volunteer experience in hospital and nonprofit settings. These experiences continue to shape the way I understand the importance of culture, context, relationships, and the many factors that influence our well-being. Clinically I have experience working with individuals age 5 to 70 navigating anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, cancer diagnoses, difficulties within their family system, and life transitions.

Outside the Office

When I'm not in the counseling office, I enjoy painting, drawing, knitting, hiking, road trips, keeping my sourdough alive another day, spending time with my husband and daughter, gardening, watching cycling, celebrating the ordinary, drinking black coffee, and hunting down hidden-gem and hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Madison (and yes, I'd love to hear your favorites).
