About Xander
Xander’s adventures have found him raising goats on a farm, traveling across the country, and learning about the world through the people he’s met along the way. He has settled down in southern Oregon where he spends his time exploring the outdoors with his family and dogs. You can find him dancing on the Britt hill in the summer. His experiences have brought him to care deeply for people in their suffering. This has led him to specialize in working alongside clients as they heal from trauma and PTSD, Psychosis and/or Dual Diagnosis.
Healing flows from agency. Xander utilizes a person-centered approach that informs an otherwise eclectic toolkit to uncover, along with his client, what therapeutic elements may be helpful. He draws from established principles in Ecopsychology, evidence-based treatment for substance use disorder and trauma, and evolutionary psychology in his work.
Xander’s treatment specialties include psychotic disorders, major life events, childhood trauma, and issues related to houselessness. He incorporate case management/social work skills when applicable and has a reliable network of support across agencies in the valley providing a variety of social services.
Xander is supervised by RuthAnne Alexander, MS, LPC, NCC, QMHP.
