AWE Therapy

First off, my initials are AWE: Alexzia Wagner-Engman. When I looked up the definition of "awe", it felt so fitting for why we go to therapy and what we are trying to achieve.

Awe is a complicated feeling that's hard to explain. It can feel good, bad, or both at the same time. People often describe awe as a mix of fear and wonder. You might feel awe when you think about how vast the universe is and how small you are, or when you feel deeply connected to other people, animals, and nature. Awe is a very rich and complex experience, much like the human one.

When I decided to start my private practice, it stemmed from experiencing the most awe-inspiring moment of my life: having my medically complex daughter. It was a time when I felt the most fear and the most happiness simultaneously. This lived experience has continued to teach me how to lean into and feel all emotions.

At Awe Therapy, we will explore those complex feelings and experiences to help you grow and understand yourself better. There are no "bad" or "wrong" feelings. I will help you learn how to embrace them all with compassion for yourself. In our counseling sessions, we'll look deeply into your life, relationships, and patterns. This might sometimes feel challenging, but it will also bring new insights and positive changes. I'm here to support you every step of the way as we navigate the ups and downs together.
