Alex Dixon

Licensed Master Social Worker

Alex Dixon is a licensed master social worker specializing in the treatment of trauma. Alex’s understanding of trauma is rooted in science (how traumatic experiences impact the brain) and what Alex has observed in his practice. Although scientific methods drive the use of evidence-based trauma therapy models, Alex’s clinical observations demonstrate that an integrative approach of science and holistic care improve consistency of effective treatment. Alex’s passion to explore many different methods of treatment stems from his own personal therapeutic work. Alex’s personal therapeutic journey led to the creation and use of holistic practices that effectively treat symptoms of trauma. Alex’s professional training and personal therapeutic work include EMDR, Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy, CBT, Psychedelic-assisted therapies, psychedelic integration, shamanistic practices, somatic therapies and breathwork practices.

The future of trauma treatment…

Trauma treatment is only as effective as the accessibility of the trauma and how much you are able to re-process it. Alex’s technique of Fluid Movement Reprocessing (FMR) is an extensive experience that accelerates the therapeutic process by making previously inaccessible trauma more accessible. Once accessible, the emotions associated with the trauma can be extinguished, which decreases distressing symptoms.

Client Testimonials

"I have been going to Alex for therapy for the last couple years and am very happy with the progress we are making. Alex has been the first therapist I’ve worked with that truly uses a trauma-informed approach and it has made all the difference. Alex is realistic with goal-setting, supportive, provides resources and is reasonably reachable, should an emergency arise. We have utilized talk therapy, somatic therapy, hypnosis and EMDR, each with noticeable improvements in the obstacles we are working to overcome. I have felt safe and comfortable during our sessions and strongly recommend his services. Alex has a passion for his work and can help you heal too, if you’re willing to do your part. I cannot thank him enough for the difference he has made in my life. If you’ve read this far, just call and schedule an appointment; you’re worth it."

"I've been seeing Alex for a few months now. I typically don't choose male health professionals because of my background and what I've been through. I can say that Alex has made me feel comfortable and safe with him, and I haven't had a problem opening up and sharing some of my darkest experiences.

I can tell he is listening intently and that he is invested in me as a patient because he always takes diligent notes and can remind me of exactly where we left off in the previous session. He has helped me discover some of the reasons that I am unable to identify how I'm feeling in my body, and he guides me patiently through each session by re-wording questions and prompts if I'm not
understanding or having difficulty responding.

I am new to hypnotherapy and EMDR, but I feel as though I am in great hands and can't wait to see what progress lies ahead of me in the future!"

"I’ve been seeing Alex now for over a year and it’s been quite a journey. His knowledge of different modalities of therapy is incredibly helpful in addressing the areas of concern that I’ve had. Beyond that, he doesn’t just help identify the root cause of issues but he helps me manifest and work toward the type of life I want for myself. We’ve explored a variety of techniques, each of which have brought new insights and value to my life. Additionally, Alex is often able to highlight patterns or identify what it is I’m feeling when I’m unable to, further demonstrating his skill and passion for his work. I highly recommend Alex if you’re looking for therapy services - particularly if you’re open-minded on how to address any concerns or issues you’re having. If you’re new to therapy, Alex has a very calm demeanor, which helps in allowing me to feel comfortable and share my inner thoughts and feelings."

"Alex has been my therapist for a while now. I came to him when I was in a dark place when I didn’t know what to do or where to go, through multiple therapy sessions together we grew a trust towards one and other and he helped me out of those tough times. Since then I have been going to him monthly for check ins. He has helped me so much these past few years and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of getting help."

"It has almost been 2 months since I went through the 3 day FMR module and things have been consistently improving for me since then. I knew I wanted to undergo EMDR therapy before finding Alex, but I had no idea where to start. There were so many symptoms/triggers/events going on with me that it wasn't clear what I should prioritize or whether I should try to tackle things
chronologically.

Alex mentioned the FMR program to me and said it could be a potential fit for what I was looking for in my treatment.. more connection with my body, release of buried emotions within my body, and a better outlook on life overall. When the time came, it felt very daunting to commit 3 days with 6 hours of session each dedicated to dredging up some of my worst feelings in the world.
It didn't feel like that at all in the thick of it though. I was shocked at how fast the time passed, and it honestly left me feeling incredibly hopeful at the end of each day. I had been spending the majority of my life with negative thoughts and beliefs.. And to leave the building with those beliefs shaken felt absolutely amazing.

Since then, I feel an overall theme of acceptance. Acceptance of myself, my past, my looks/appearance, the familial relationships in my life that I cannot change, and the responsibilities that come along with being a functional adult. My mood has been consistently better, and I find that I'm feeling gratitude organically without prompting myself.

Don't get me wrong, it was a lot of hard work, but incredibly worth it. Alex was a great partner and facilitator, he put a lot of care into making the environment safe for this treatment, and it felt great to know that he was just as invested in my progress as I was. Highly recommended!!!"

"I had a very positive experience working with Alex. He provides a safe comfortable environment for therapy and will move at your pace. If you decide to engage in hypnotherapy, he is the best I have worked with. I would highly recommend his services."

"I am a 64 year old male. I was sexually abused at the age of 7 for several months by my oldest brother who was 17 at the time. I never told anyone about what happened and therefore suffered in silence. The abuse impacted every facet of my life in a profoundly negative way. School, the workplace, and social situations were always difficult. I finally told my wife, twenty some years into our marriage. She knew all along something horrible had happened to me. I saw multiple therapists and tried every depression medication on the market, none of which brought me any relief. A friend of mine who had a similar experience told me about a procedure called EMDR. She said it was life changing. I had not heard of it. My wife found Alex Dixon Therapy online.

Alex changed my life in a profoundly positive way after 5 visits. I have never felt so good, nor did I think it was possible for me to feel this way. I have inner peace and tranquility. My life is no longer controlled by past negative experiences. I am full of hope. I'm happy. Feeling like this allows me to be the best husband and father I can be. My life is filled with joy. This is what I have prayed for. My suffering is over and it's never coming back. Alex is at the very top of his field. After living in a dark tunnel, I have made it through and am living in the bright sunshine and life is beautiful, thanks to Alex."
