💚Team Member Spotlight: Meet Alexa🎉
Please join us in congratulating Alexa on recently acquiring her Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) credentials! It is a huge accomplishment that required 2 years and 2,000+ hours of post-degree counseling experience and supervision.
She holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Metropolitan State University of Denver and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado. From her education and training she gained a passion for collaborating with clients to forge their personal goals and is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can engage in meaningful, authentic work towards becoming their healthiest selves. Through her use of holistic and humanistic approaches to counseling, and her professional focus in chronic illness counseling, she supports clients facing a wide range of challenges and concerns.
Alexa began at Pennock Center for Counseling as an intern counselor through UNC in January of 2023 and, after completing her graduate program, she continued in her commitment to the center and the community when she was offered a position at Pennock Center as a Staff Therapist in January of 2024. Now, in 2026, she is stepping into the Clinical Supervisor role with the help of continued training and guidance from our new Executive Director, Julie Ratinoff, MA, LPC, ATR. Though her role is changing, she will continue to work with her own clients as well as supporting the other therapists in the clinic. She looks forward to helping new therapists by encouraging professional growth and exploration as they embark on their own paths in the counseling world.
When she is not in the counseling chair, Alexa focuses on her own self-care by spending time at home with her husband and her cat, playing cribbage with anyone willing to play, collecting trinkets at thrift stores, and connecting with friends as often as possible. She also stays active through traveling, skiing, and hiking - when our Colorado weather allows for it.
