My name is Alexandria Kreie-Yang, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for guiding individuals through their journeys of self-discovery and healing.

Growing up in the small town of Merrill, Wisconsin, my atypical and chaotic family life instilled in me a resilience and curiosity about the world that set the foundation for my career. As a child, my fascination with crime books and TV shows gradually expanded to include a deep interest in psychology, sociology, and the complexities of human behavior.

  • Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed in Wisconsin

While pursuing my MSW, I worked in a program that provided community services to individuals committed by the state for sexually violent behavior. This role didn't involve direct therapy but allowed me to collaborate closely with clients and their therapists. This experience was pivotal in inspiring me to pursue a career where I could make a meaningful impact.

With over 14 years in the social services industry and approximately 4-5 years practicing therapy, I specialize in working with adults involved in the criminal justice system.
