Alexander “Buster” Jaide
(He/Him), LLMSW
I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where children, teens, adults, and relationships of all kinds are welcomed and respected. My practice is grounded in cultural humility and a strong commitment to equitable, strengths-based care. I support clients navigating trauma, neurodivergence (including ADHD, ASD, PDA, and sensory sensitivities), adoption, parenting, identity development, emotional regulation, grief, and life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with children, teens, and caregivers adjusting to new or layered responsibilities, as well as couples and families seeking to improve communication, emotional safety, and connection.
My therapeutic style is integrative and collaborative, drawing from a range of evidence-based and body-centered modalities, including CBT, DBT, Brainspotting, polyvagal theory, and somatic practices. I work from a relational and client-centered lens, helping clients tune into the wisdom of their bodies, deepen emotional insight, and support nervous system regulation and resilience.
I am LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and non-traditional relationship affirming. I welcome individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds and configurations. I show up with humility, flexibility, and deep respect for your journey, inner resilience, and wisdom. Together, we can work to build capacity, deepen understanding, and move toward a life that feels more connected and aligned with your wants and values.
