Alex Ott has a Master’s Degree in Counseling from St. Edward’s University, and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Alex began his career in pediatric oncology at Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin, Texas, counseling families, and their children in various stages of cancer treatment. Believing in a systemic approach to care, Alex completed his clinical hours at Austin Family Institute; a premier training site for systemic theory and family therapy across a broad spectrum of focus. Alex took his love of family therapy and opened his own private practice in 2011, where he treated individuals, couples, and families on a sliding scale to allow for a more inclusive and diverse clientele. Alex continued private practice while taking a position as lead therapist in a Partial Hospitalization Program in 2015. An adjunct professor at St. Edward’s University’s Master of Arts in Counseling Program, Alex taught a graduate studies course in drug abuse, treatment and therapy, pharmacology, and neurobiology. Alex considers the process of therapy an ongoing conversation, free of directives and open to curiosities and wonder. Narrative Therapy, Brief Structural Therapy, and Mindfulness, are among the approaches to care Alex utilizes to help improve the lives of those he sees. Alex’s open, empathic stance creates a welcoming environment to explore together the solutions that are unique to each individual.
