Alexandra Pradas, LICSW

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in MA and NH. I enjoy working with individuals who have a history of trauma and helping them to find healing and emotional growth. As a social worker I value collaboration with schools, state agencies and community supports to build understanding and empathy for my clients. I am flexible and I use a systemic perspective and holistic approach to my work. I have received extensive training in suicide prevention, suicide loss bereavement, and mental health crisis response. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based trauma treatment. Why EMDR? Our brains have a natural way to recover from stress. When our experiences are too overwhelming or disturbing, that natural path to recovery can be disrupted. EMDR therapy helps the brain process difficult memories, allowing for healing and resolution to occur. Interested in learning more about EMDR?

I also offer supervision to those seeking advanced social work licensure. MA License #121235 NH License #2362
