About Me

My name is Alexandra Wagner, I am born and raised in Minnesota, or as we like to call it Minnesnowta! I had to add the ice castle picture below to play into that a bit. I got my Masters of Social Work (MSW) at Arizona State University. My previous career in law enforcement is what has led me to the great world of social work. I have seen what trauma and your environment can do to someone’s mental health time and time again. I have a vested interest in trauma treatment.

I also have become passionate about Integrative Medicine. Integrative medicine focuses on the holistic approach to treatment and what natural or everyday routine things can we work on to benefit our mental health. I focus on nutrition, movement, and alternative treatments to build toward a healthier person overall. I have taken Integrative Medicine courses and have created a few of my own (go check them out here). I have also had training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). While working with clients I love to use a Strengths-based approach to care and be solution oriented.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, and kayaking. I don’t mind spending some time camping or just being present in nature. In many of my outdoor activities, my dog Remy loves to join me. I also enjoy traveling and learning about the local culture and traditions. I feel that we all can learn so much about one another! I of course home or away love to dive into the local cuisine and maybe try some foods I have never had before. I am a foodie at heart.

Cooking is something that really brings me peace and enjoyment and I try to do as much as I can. I love to try new recipes and make some of my own. This is something I like to do for clients as well, create healthy recipes that they will enjoy and benefit their brain health. Art and design are other hobbies of mine. I enjoy the aspects of design and creativity, it can be so freeing to do. I started an Etsy Shop to show off some of my designs as well.
