About Aleksander Casas

Life stressors and managing different areas of our life can sometimes become heavy to hold alone. Many times, there is nothing “wrong” with us, we are just learning to navigate life and ourselves. It is beneficial when we have a designated time to devote to this process via a guided telehealth setting. Let’s explore the unknown and get to the root of what you are feeling and thinking.

“He has been great so far”

“Aleks has been a great listener and helps greatly in providing insight for my feelings. Highly recommend him!”

“Aleksander has been extremely valuable in helping me see the harmful cycles that I have been stuck in and has given me a safe place to be seen and heard. He's a great listener and patient communicator who speaks with grace and compassion. I highly recommend him to anyone who's having trouble navigating through whatever may be hindering your growth.”

“Aleksander has been incredible. I've been really wary about attending therapy, but I'm so glad I did. He's incredibly insightful and his sessions are well-constructed. There isn't pressure for me to always do all of the talking”

“Great therapist”

“Aleks is patient and always listens to when I am speaking, and he makes absolutely sure he understands what I am saying. He asks very good and direct questions and ensures I know how to respond. He is genuinely concerned with my well being.”

“Talking with Alex is like speaking to a best friend. I value his opinions. And I look forward to our session. I would recommend him to anyone I speak too. He is the very best. I feel as though he was sent to me to help me with my journey.”

“I would most definitely recommend Aleksander, he is an excellent therapist.”

“I took a chance joining Better Help and when I chose my therapist I didn’t know if I would relate to them or be comfortable being 100% honest. However, Aleks has always provided a safe space for me and has so much knowledge and expertise that he also provides me the feedback I may not always want to hear but need to hear. I got lucky on the first try in therapy and if I had to do it all over again I wouldn’t change a thing!”

“Aleksander has been wonderful! He listens intently and provides sound insight into my experiences. He's really helped me through a difficult time. I don't know where I would be without him.”

“He’s the best! Great listener, offers lots of support, and will help guide you through your journey. 10/10”

“I feel lucky to have matched with Aleksander. After one session I knew Aleksander was a great fit for me. He is a great listener and has lots of knowledge to share. His teachings have been helping me already, even just after a couple sessions.”

“Aleksander is a thoughtful practitioner and human being. His listening skills and ability to weave interrelated topics and experiences of your life together into a picture more clear than you may be able to see is truly a gift and I couldn’t recommend his help more.”

“He’s been amazing!”

“Aleksander is very patient and understanding. He takes interest in getting all of the details so he can better help me. I recommend him as a therapist!”
