- LCMHC
I am Alex Blankenstein. I am a devoted husband, father of 3 boys, therapist, strong mind coach, ultra-endurance athlete, backcountry adventurer, Halloween enthusiast, aspiring carpenter, mediocre comedian, backyard “chickeneer”, and oatmeal connoisseur.
You might say that I love pushing my limits and being creative in many areas of life. I love to see what I am capable of.
My personal journey has led me from a place of shame and self-doubt into a life of values-oriented confidence and growth. Using a proven process of values clarification, self-regulation, and a re-writing of those limiting beliefs, I am adept at helping people get unstuck from old stories and to stop doing the things that don’t move them forward toward the best version of themselves.
From teens to adults, I specialize in the realms of growth mindset, trauma healing, understanding compulsive sexual behavior, and self-led sexual health. I have come to see myself as a merchant of hope for those who doubt themselves but who want to leave their small stories, dance with fear, and grow into something bigger and more beautiful.
My mission is for everyone to find acceptance and belonging for all parts of themselves, to feel whole, to be empowered, and to live free

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
