Do you feel stuck or hopeless and want 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? You are tired of living an unfulfilled life and dissatisfied relationships. The more you fill your days with distractions, the more you feel like you’ve lost the balance and control in your life. You are tired, feel stuck, lost.
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.
What if life could be more fulfilling and you could find your happy place and ignite your relationships?
It is possible for you to write the next chapter of your story, change it as you see fit, and get rid of old narratives that lack the fullness of who you are
You can make that dream happen.
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.
Let me help you regain control of your life!
I’ve spent years helping men, women, teens, and families find their inner strength and move through the world with more hope and clarity. Often, we come to therapy seeking help for a relationship when what we need is greater access to ourselves.
I am Alexa von Oertzen, and this is my passion and practice, Haven Family Therapy in Coral Springs. I aim to elevate your personal growth and help you reconnect to your sense of purpose and worth in this life.
I genuinely believe that as individuals, we already carry inside us incredible healing power and the solutions to our problems. My role is to help you recognize and realign you with your strengths and talents. Together, we will connect you with your inner problem solver and build confidence.
Let’s explore deeper.
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.
After reading this far and exploring the options available to you, I invite you to investigate further. Let's look at what I can offer and how together, we can change the story you’ve been living and take conscious steps towards a more satisfying future.

How I Work
When we collaborate, we can create a deeper understanding of our experiences, we can find our voice and become the "hero" of our story.
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.
Take the first step for change and call now for your complimentary 15-minute consultation. Find out how to turn things around.
“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.”

Rave Reviews
It can be hard to build trust and willingness to be vulnerable with a therapist, and I deeply understand this. My clients tell me I am easy to speak with and make them feel valued from the moment they walk through the door.
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.
