I've lived and died a thousand times, but born each time - a rose.
Hello, my name is Alex Messbarger, aka Alexandra Rose. I am a Psychotherapist, Reiki Master and facilitator of holistic healing. My goal is to merge traditional talk therapy with holistic modalities in the form of reiki, meditation, embodiment and sound healing to bring about a deeper, inner-connectedness with Self through the healing process. I believe that I was born a dreamer, a creator, a Lover… though life has taken me on a bit of a journey to which it has eventually brought me back to my starting point; my innate being. As if my heart was whispering to me on this path all along, calling my soul back home. The idea of making my life into a living work of art is the only thing that's ever truly, deeply resonated with me. Giving significance to the tiniest details, I crave to take each of my experiences and make a story of my life, wrapped up with both the beautiful and sad, honoring each of my raw emotions. Welcome to my creative home, a sacred space for each of the us to get intimate with our own souls.
Alex Messbarger is a psychotherapist (LMSW). She completed graduate school at Columbia University on the clinical track with a focus on mental health. She is also currently enrolled at Columbia University, finishing up a second graduate degree in Neuroscience, with a relentless pursuit of understanding the complexities of the human mind. She believes in healing from the inside out through the transformative power of mind-body integration. She strives to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their well-being, aiming for a comprehensive and dynamic approach to healing.
Alex fosters a collaborative and empathetic partnership with clients, recognizing and leveraging their unique strengths to help them navigate challenges and realize their goals. She passionately creates a safe, healing, and non-judgmental space where clients can freely share their stories, gain profound insights into their experiences, and forge a new reality that is both authentic and fulfilling. Alex’s toolkit is further enriched by her rigorous amount of somatic training, holding a certification as a trauma-informed somatic/embodiment coach, as well as her certification in mindfulness-based meditation. Alex has experience in Trauma-Informed Care (specifically incorporating somatic work), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Alex is also a Reiki Master and in her free time, she enjoys traveling, writing poetry, and making jewelry.

My Philosophy
Lindens smell fine on fine June nights!
Sometimes the air is so sweet that you close your eyes;
The wind brings sounds--the town is near--
And carries scents of vineyards and beer. . .
(an excerpt from my favorite poem, Novel by Arthur Rimbaud)
No one's serious at seventeen.
--On beautiful nights when beer and lemonade
And loud, blinding cafés are the last thing you need
--You stroll beneath green lindens on the promenade.
