Master’s Level Clinical Intern

Alex Hermann

SHE / HER

Grounded in my lived experience as a biracial woman with Latina roots, my systems-based approach is shaped by empathy, deep curiosity, and cultural sensitivity. I’ve long held a passion for understanding how culture shapes identity, relationships, and healing. As a therapist in training, my hope is to create an inclusive space where people’s lived experiences are not only heard but compassionately understood.

I strive to collaboratively build a space that fosters trust, connection, and healing as we navigate life’s hardships and meaningful moments together. My therapeutic interests include supporting individuals and families experiencing peripartum and postpartum mood disorders, and helping parents make sense of the complex narratives that surround parenthood. I am especially committed to dismantling stigma and cultural shame around perinatal mental health and to centering client voices in the healing process. With roots in a multicultural background, I am particularly drawn to working with BIPOC individuals and families who are navigating the intersection of parenting, identity, and mental health. I believe that honoring culture is essential to meaningful, holistic care. 


I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from St. Catherine University. Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, and exploring the outdoors with my daughter.


I look forward to meeting all the wonderful individuals and families who seek support, and I am dedicated to building a collaborative space of trust, healing, and growth.
