Meet the Founder

Hello, I am Alexandrea Long, LCSW-S, the founder of Live Consciously, PLLC. I am originally from Houston, Texas. I joined the army in 2009 and moved to Killeen, Texas. After finishing my military commitment, I decided to get out of the service and follow my passion.

As a survivor of my own childhood trauma, my goal has always been to help facilitate healing for others. I strive to help others take off the burden of shame and step into their true identity of self-love and worthiness. To Live Consciously means to be intentional about who you want to be in life and become it. To do this we must become aware of the unconscious beliefs and unresolved traumas that have influenced our lives. In order to do this, we must cultivate awareness. 

Through awareness we gain understanding, through understanding we gain compassion, through compassion we gain love for ourselves, and through love, we gain healing.

Alexandrea's Therapy Style

As a therapist, I strive to break the barriers of traditional therapy by going beyond the mind and helping facilitate healing for the body as well. I am an out-of-the-box therapist, and my approach is rooted in compassion, self-awareness, and deep healing. I focus on reducing shame and fostering a strong connection between the mind and body, drawing on insights from the neurobiology of trauma and the principles outlined in The Body Keeps the Score. Together, we’ll explore how unresolved childhood experiences can manifest as challenges in adulthood and uncover the root causes of your distress rather than addressing surface-level symptoms.

When we experience childhood trauma with no resolution it inevitably leads to an adult life full of relational and interpersonal “difficulties.” This is called “complex trauma” in the psychology world, which leads to lifelong issues and labels such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, addictions, relational problems, and more. My approach starts off with helping you understand that you are not to blame for this.

By learning your internal system and developing emotion regulation skills, you’ll become more in tune with your emotions and how they influence your thoughts, behaviors, and overall well-being. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, promote healing, and empower you to live a life of authenticity and balance.

“Our brains are wired for connection, but trauma rewires them for protection.

That's why healthy relationships are difficult for wounded people”
