Alex Petrino Counseling & Consulting, LLC

Individual therapy for teens and adults

How I Help:

Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, managing anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, or simply seeking a space to feel heard and supported—you are not alone. My practice is built on the belief that everyone deserves access to compassionate, affirming, and evidence-based mental health care.

I’m Alex Petrino, a licensed professional counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals move through life’s most challenging seasons. I provide telehealth counseling to clients in Wyoming, Montana, and Illinois, with a special focus on:

  • Perinatal mental health (including “baby blues,” postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and birth trauma)

  • Affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals

  • Grief, life transitions, and identity work

  • Counselor support and supervision

In addition to my clinical work, I serve as President of the Wyoming Counseling Association, teach graduate-level counseling courses, and partner with statewide organizations like the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to advocate for improved access to care across our communities.

I understand how hard it can be to reach out for support. My goal is to make that first step a little easier—and to walk alongside you with warmth, respect, and a deep commitment to your well-being.

What You Can Expect

  • A trauma-informed, inclusive, and client-centered approach

  • Flexible, secure telehealth sessions that fit your schedule

  • A space where your identity, values, and voice are honored

  • A collaborative relationship focused on meaningful, lasting change

Hi, I’m Alex

I’m a therapist, a parent (who sometimes feels “over it”), and someone who’s survived my own challenges. I’ve been fortunate to have others accept me at my lowest AND challenge me to make changes that are good for me and the people around me. I would love to be that person for you.

As your therapist, I aim to help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible without sacrificing the quality of your care. After ensuring I have a good understanding of how I can help, we’ll decide on a course of action together.

Our collaboration will be born from your strengths and determination, my experience and transparency. All your appointments will take place via telehealth. I encourage all clients to have sessions in a spot in their homes in which they feel safe and comfortable.

Is therapy a good fit for you?

There is another way.

Let’s get real: whatever you’ve done so far maybe has not worked.

And as cliche as it sounds, “Life is too short” to continue to live
unhappy, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled.

It’s time to prioritize yourself by getting the professional help
you need and deserve.
