About Me | Empowered Minds Therapy

Alexandra Waidelich, LPC

I’m the Founder of Empowered Minds Therapy and a Licensed Professional Counselor. My experience helps clients get to the root of the issue by recognizing their strengths, building confidence, and ultimately living with greater purpose. My passion is to support adolescents and adults who are ready to move beyond self-doubt and step into their full potential — to feel grounded, resilient, and capable of creating meaningful change in their lives and relationships.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and deeply personalized. I believe in creating an inclusive space where you can be your authentic self — where you’re met with warmth, honesty, and genuine understanding. Together, we’ll explore the challenges that may be holding you back, uncover your inner strength, and build practical tools to help you approach life with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. Therapy with me isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress, growth, and learning to stand strong in who you are.

With experience across schools, community organizations, clinical settings, and private practice, I bring a well-rounded perspective to the work we do together. Every person’s story is unique and my goal is to meet you where you are — helping you feel both seen and supported as you grow. I believe healing begins with self-awareness and courage, and I’m here to help you cultivate both as you create a life that feels purposeful, connected, and true to you.

Areas of Expertise

Individual Counseling

I provide one-on-one sessions tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, or simply feeling stuck, our work together focuses on helping you gain clarity, build coping skills, and create meaningful change.

Specialities

I specialize in anxiety disorders, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, women's issues (including parenting, pregnancy, fertility, and postpartum depression and anxiety, as well as sexism and societal pressures women face today), trauma, and learning differences.

Approach

Using a safe, respectful and non-judgmental approach, my goal is to give you the tools you need to find your inner strength and feel validated, empowered, and ready to tackle whatever obstacles you face in the future. My approach is integrative, inclusive, and personalized, celebrating everyone's unique qualities, perspectives, and experiences. I tailor therapy for the individual client and pull from multiple therapeutic modalities, like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care.
