Welcome to InnerRise!

I'm Alexander Ivory, a dedicated and experienced therapist with a passion for helping individuals on their journey of growth and healing. Over the past 4 years, I have been providing therapy services, with a primary focus on supporting individuals who struggle with substances and challenges like anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My academic background includes a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Oakland University and a Master's in Clinical Mental Health from the University of the Cumberlands. I am certified by the state of Michigan to provide substance use services and hold a CADC (Certified Alcohol Drug Counselor) certification.

Throughout my career, I have received specialized training to better serve individuals who have experienced trauma and domestic violence, allowing me to create a safe and supportive space for your healing process.

How I Provide Therapy

In my therapeutic approach, I blend person-centered and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I strongly believe that the foundation of effective therapy lies in building a strong therapeutic relationship and fostering a nonjudgmental environment. My genuine care and unconditional positive regard for each individual ensure that you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your therapeutic journey.

I share the belief that many of our troubles stem from distorted thoughts and core beliefs. Together, we will work on identifying and reshaping these beliefs, helping you view yourself, others, the present, the past, and the future in a way that benefits your overall well-being.

My Job As Your Therapist

As your therapist, my role is not to have all the answers or dictate your path. Instead, I see my purpose as reflecting "you" back to "you," empowering you to make the changes that are most beneficial for your growth and development.

This Is My Passion

Providing therapy is more than just a profession to me; it is a genuine passion. Witnessing individuals like you blossom and transform is an incredible honor, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your journey.

If you're ready to embark on this transformative experience, I'm here to walk alongside you. Together, we can navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories, building a brighter and more fulfilling future.

I look forward to working with you and witnessing the positive changes that await you.
