Alexandra "Allie" Hale, LPC

Welcome, I am proud that you are here and willing to begin (or continue) your healing journey. I am always humbled and honored to know those willing to commit to the challenging yet transforming work of therapy. 

My person-centered and integrative approach stems from the belief that you hold the power to heal yourself from the inside out. My goal is to support you in becoming an expert of your internal world. 

I work with both individuals and couples, dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, communication issues, grief/loss, and relational/developmental trauma. With warmth, openness, and curiosity, I strive to create a safe space for you to navigate life’s many challenges. I aim to be a witness to your story so that together we may raise awareness on the root of emotional problems and presenting issues. We will work collaboratively to identify conditioned beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you, and focus on positive resources and tangible tools to enhance your sense of agency and connection to your authentic self. 

At a young age, I was introduced to a multitude of holistic health practices, which developed into a lifelong passion for the healing arts and mind-body connection. I hold a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology (the study of human body movement) and a decade of experience working as a wellness retreat coordinator and a yoga instructor. My understanding of healing as a blending of both art and science naturally transitioned me into the field of counseling. My passion for the mind-body connection informs my somatic and experiential approach to therapy in which I use parts work, mindfulness modalities, interoceptive techniques, neurobiology, and knowledge of the nervous system to support increased emotional regulation, emotional embodiment, and invite space for spontaneous healing and growth. 

I completed my Master’s in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute with an emphasis in professional clinical counseling, marriage and family therapy, and depth psychology. Through my education, training, and personal journey of self-discovery, I have come to understand the profound healing potential of somatic awareness, movement, dreams, images, and symbols in helping individuals manage and navigate internal conflicts and create more meaning and vitality in their lives. 

I spent the majority of my childhood in London, England, before moving to Houston, Texas. In 2016, I moved to Austin, where I love to spend as much time in nature as I can— especially in the water. In my free time, I enjoy being active, cooking, reading, traveling, and spending time with my husband, family, and friends.
