Hi! So lovely to meet you! My name is Alexandra (Alex) Timoshenko, MS, LCAT, MT-BC. Mental healthcare is my jam, and clinical supervision is my bread and butter!

I am super passionate about supporting the professional growth and development of therapists through humanistic, reflective, and person-centered supervision. As a current clinician, director, supervisor, and work-life balance advocate, I understand the challenges of balancing multiple roles and responsibilities, both in and out of the session room, first-hand. This lived experience allows me to bring empathy, flexibility, relatability, and a deep respect for the complexities of this work to supervision together.

As a supervisor, I take an egalitarian and collaborative approach, as I believe that supervision is a shared journey rather than a top-down directive. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore clinical challenges, ask “the tough questions,” and show up, unapologetically, as your authentic self. Together, we will reflect on your cases, strengthen your clinical skills, and build your confidence in your therapeutic identity — all the while processing “whatever comes up” along the way.

We, as mental healthcare providers, are often so used to caring for others that we sometimes forget to care for ourselves. But, we cannot pour from empty cups. In supervision together, I create a space where you come first — not just as a clinician or as an employee, but as a human being. This means honoring your boundaries, your needs, your burnout, your values, your limits, and your voice. Supervision with me is a space to slow down, feel supported, and reconnect with the parts of you that make this work meaningful and sustainable for you!

Known (in the most positive way!) as the “unconventional supervisor,” I whole-heartedly embrace a flexible, creative approach that meets you, and your emotional and physical needs, in the moment — no matter what that moment looks like. All feelings, thoughts, questions, and more are welcome here. Whether we are talking, processing through the arts (painting, music, poetry, etc.), sitting on the floor, walking outside in the sunshine, taking an opportunity for a cathartic sigh, yell, or cry (hey, it’s needed sometimes - and that’s ok!), or simply holding space — supervision with me is about honoring what you truly need, in a way that feels human, grounded, and real.
