Alex Cisneros

Welcome! My name is Alex, and I am a graduate student intern at the University of Central Florida. Life is not always so easy, and there is no clear guideline to follow. Even understanding this, sometimes it can be challenging to accept. However, two things can be true at the same time: we can be lost and still be growing. My role in your experience is to provide an environment that can support you in moving forward whether from painful memories, relationship issues, unwanted patterns, or a general feeling of unhappiness. My approach is collaborative and focuses on two core Dialectic Behavioral Therapy principles, acceptance and change. Acceptance doesn't mean agreeing, it means understanding and the ability to tolerate hardship. I am passionate about working with those suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. However, everyone's experiences are uniquely different and I strive to tackle your circumstances with your values in mind. My ultimate purpose is to make you feel validated and open to expressing yourself in a style that is real and productive for your goals. Outside the office, I enjoy training my dog new tricks, thrifting, gaming, and martial arts. Thank you for your time, and if you want to see if we would be a good fit then feel free to connect with me! Email: alex@lyoncounseling.care
