Alexa Blye is a California native, a Baby Boomer, and a family therapist living in Southern California with her Goldendoodle Penelope. Growing up, she was influenced by the social unrest and changes of the Sixties and has been a social justice advocate beginning when she was in middle school, then high school and college. Alexa went on to become a family therapist and ten years ago began specializing in working with survivors of narcissistic families – where one member— sometimes a parent, other times a sibling, still other times a spouse, suffers from narcissistic behaviors. The reality-bending gaslighting, manipulations, and isolation leave family members suffering from complex post-traumatic stress – often knowing something isn't right, but they can't put their finger on just what it is...after time, some members succumb to chronic self-doubt and must find themselves again. Though semi-retired, with a private practice in Southern California, Alexa continues to commit herself to making a positive difference in people's lives.
