Alex Ausborn, MPH, Counselor in Training
Hello and welcome! I am a clinical mental health counselor in training here at Arise Renewed Counseling, LLC. I am deeply drawn to guiding individuals on their journey toward long-lasting empowerment and holistic wellness, which includes a focus on mental, physical and spiritual health support. My mission is to guide clients in discovering their inner strength, developing personal agency, maximizing their personal resources, and overcoming challenges in a safe, empathetic environment.
Some Fun Facts
I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. I enjoy casual long distance running and road races/obstacle courses, weight training, hiking and reading.
Therapeutic Approach
Your session with me will primarily involve an integrative approach that focuses on creating a collaborative and supportive environment in our work together. This allows me to make the therapeutic process adaptive to your individual needs as I learn more about you. In therapy, I endeavor to cultivate a very strong and trusting relationship with each client, recognizing the uniqueness of your personal journey and challenges you’ve encountered along the way.
I approach each session with humility, where I understand that you are the primary agent of change in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, guiding and supporting you as we explore and uncover deeper meaning and purpose within your identity, struggles, and relationships. This collaborative partnership is key in fostering long-lasting healing, personal growth and empowerment.
My approach is flexible, supportive, and tailored for your needs, ensuring that you are valued, heard, and validated during this experience. Together, we will create a space for transformation, where you will feel understood, empowered and develop the resources to surmount challenges with confidence and clarity.
I also provide faith-based counseling for clients who wish to integrate their faith into their treatment journey. For many, faith is a core part of their identity and a powerful source of strength in navigating life’s challenges. This approach is thoughtfully designed to honor and align with your spiritual or religious traditions while addressing emotional, psychological, and relational concerns.
