J. Alexander is a licensed therapist, addiction counselor, and clinical supervisor with over a decade of experience guiding individuals and families through the labyrinths of trauma, recovery, and relational healing. Holding a master's degree in Clinical Psychology and a CADC-III credential, he has worn many hats in the field--from case manager and residential counselor to intensive outpatient coordinator and lead supervisor in high-stakes treatment environments.His career began in the trenches of residential addiction programs, where the raw pulse of human struggle reshaped his understanding of resilience. It was there that he discovered a deep passion for couples work, trauma-informed care, and the subtle art of bearing witness to lives in the midst of profound change.Drawing from the sessions that have etched themselves into his soul, Alexander's Tales From the Chair transforms composite stories of the hurt, the haunted, and the healed into a testament to empathy's quiet power. A devoted husband and father of three, his own growing pains have shaped a compassionate and unflinching clinical lens. He resides in California, where he continues to step into the chair not only to listen, but to remind us all that healing is a shared, stubborn miracle.
