Woman contemplating going to the best therapist in coral springs.

Feeling stuck or hopeless despite your efforts to find worth and belonging?

To others, it might look like you have it all together, a beautiful family, or a great job, but if only they could see what is going on inside of you right now. You have been operating on autopilot for some time now, ignoring past resentments, being as productive as possible, and making sure everyone else is happy.

You’re a survivor, but how long can you keep going like this?

Looking for the best men’s therapist in coral springs.

Is this what life is meant to be? 

You know you’re building walls. You feel the distance growing between you and your partner; you worry endlessly about your child-turned-teen. You feel guilty that their pain could have resulted from your parenting mistakes. You so want to mend these relationships but don't know how to start

Let me help you regain control of your life!

When it comes to your life areas that need additional support, it’s hard to know who to trust, who can help you, and who will make you feel most comfortable. While I believe that you have incredible healing power already inside you, you need the right clinician to help you find and unlock it.

Alexa von Oertzen, LMFT
Founder of Haven Family Therapy in Coral Springs

I’ve spent years helping men, women, teens, and families find their inner strength and move through the world with more hope and clarity. Through in-person or online therapy sessions, we will connect you with your inner problem solver and build confidence.

  • Alexa was amazing in helping my daughter realize her potential and deal with her fears. I'm very happy I made the decision to get her started in this journey of having someone to talk to. She is truly a great choice for my daughter. I know now that I set her in the right path of prioritizing mental health.

    — A.A., Coral Springs

  • It wasn't easy to hear my teenage son tell me that he was struggling and he needed help. Help that I simply could not provide. That's when I found Alexa. Words cannot describe my gratitude for her professionalism, compassion and kindness, and most of all her ability to guide my son through what has been the most challenging time in his life thus far. I am confident that he is now able to work through his struggles and no longer feel hopeless, but rather he has gained a confidence that just a few months ago was lost. He looks forward to a beautiful and bright future, and I truly owe this all to Alexa at Haven Family Therapy.

    —C.B., Fort Lauderdale

  • Alexa’s gentle wise manor helped sweep my path ahead and guided me in the direction I couldn’t find on my own. I’m sooo grateful!!!

    —K.M., Fort Lauderdale

  • Saw Alexa for my first appointment and she was amazing and compassionate. I look forward to working with her, she is the therapist for me!

Healing Trauma through EMDR

Whether you’re looking to supplement therapy with me or another provider or are brand new to the world of mental health therapy, we’re happy to offer you the highly effective results of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy—EMDR. 

EMDR is specially designed to bypass your emotional response by engaging the logical subconscious for lasting change in your life. Explore the science behind this technique and learn how it effectively helps you heal without the hurt.

Often, we come to therapy seeking help for a relationship when what we need is greater access to ourselves.

You are the expert of your own life—the only one who understands your soul's deepest desires and the only one who has the power to reach into your vulnerability and decide that it’s time to heal the wounded parts. Your future life is waiting for you if only you're willing to take the next step. 

A quick 15-minute call can clarify what I can offer and discover how we can change the story you’ve been living and take conscious steps towards a more satisfying future.

“I have been seeing Alexa for appointments for the past 5 months to help me through a difficult time in my life. Not only is she a great listener with insight but challenges me to find my own answers to work issues out. She has been very helpful.”

How I Work

➝ Therapy that Focuses on Solutions

In my work, I use a combination of strength-based Solution-Focused Therapy, which offers clients a clear and measurable goal and steps towards solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is also used to reframe how one views a situation and therefore alters  their behavior to improve that situation.  In these processes, one uses their dormant tools, talents, and ideas.

➝ Therapy that ‘Gets’ Your Family

By providing a systemic lens on the family dynamic, I assist families understand how past patterns affect  them today.  It’s only when we recognize our "part of the whole," that we can understand our role and how best to create new patterns to bring us peace and happiness.

➝ Therapy that Honors Your Story

When working with my clients who have negative self image or deal with traumatic pasts, I use the powerful metaphor of story in the Narrative Therapy Approach. This helps clients re-story their past and acknowledge their problems as separate from themselves. You can change how your story ends.

Let’s Connect

While everyone has different experiences with therapists, I hope my passion for therapy can bring a distinct sense of involvement that you may not have had before. Many of my clients reach their goals in 12 sessions or less and state they have more peace, acceptance, and joy.
