Alex Hoffman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Live Oak Chicago who works from a trauma informed relational and harm reduction lens. She specializes in supporting clients with treatment related trauma centering client agency and authentic human connection in her work. Alex’s approach is informed by over a decade in the mental health field, early work in residential treatment and lived experience within the troubled teen industry. This perspective allows her to hold nuance honoring both the ways treatment can help and the ways it can cause harm.
In this episode of Lessons from the Couch Alex joins Corina and Mariana to explore treatment trauma, harm reduction, and holding dialectics in clinical work. She reflects on crisis care accountability and the ethical complexity of providing support within imperfect systems.The conversation emphasizes the power of therapeutic humanity modeling humility welcoming feedback and repairing harm. This episode offers meaningful insight for therapists seeking to build trust, safety and genuine connection in the therapy room.
