Almira Rexhaj
Marriage & Family Therapist Intern
Feeling stuck in a relationship, a role, or an old pattern is hard, and it's also something you can work on. I help individuals, couples, and families understand what's keeping them stuck and take real steps toward something that fits their lives better.
I come to this work after more than a decade in healthcare, social work, and integrative health, and I've trained as a marriage and family therapist. I bring a warm, honest, practical style. We'll look at where your patterns come from, then spend our time on what you can do differently.

Clinical services are provided as part of graduate internship training, under clinical supervision.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, using relational, systemic, and attachment-informed approaches.
What I Help With
Life transitions and identity, trauma and its effects, couples and relationship challenges, intimacy and sexual wellness, infertility and IVF, parenthood and family, setting boundaries, and managing big emotions.
How We'll Work TogetherWe start with your goals. In the first sessions, we'll name what's not working and what you'd like to change.
We build a plan. Together we'll decide where to focus, whether that's communication, boundaries, handling stress, repairing trust, or something else.
We practice. I'll offer tools and next steps to try between sessions, so progress shows up in your real life, not only in the therapy room.
We check in. Along the way, we'll look at what's helping and adjust as needed.

I grew up in Kosovo during a time of war, moved to the United States shortly after, and navigated the cultural differences that came along with it. Along the way I spent 12-plus years working in healthcare and mental health, helping clients reach their health goals, along with closing gaps in access to care. Those years showed me how much strength people already have, and how often the hardest parts of someone's life are the ones nobody can see.
It's why I look at the whole person, not just the problem that brought you in. Your family, your history, and your relationships all shape what you're facing, and they're also the resources we can draw on to change it.
As an intern, I work under regular supervision and consultation, and I keep learning from current research and clinical training. That means you get careful oversight and up-to-date approaches, along with my full attention in the room.

I'm a Marriage & Family Therapist Intern, with clinical training in individual, couples, and family therapy and a foundation in relational, systemic, and attachment-informed approaches.
I'm a proud UCF Knight, with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 12 years in healthcare, mental health, and project management, and my background in integrative health shapes the whole-person way I work. I started my career in geriatrics and healthcare in Orlando, Florida, then moved to Seattle to work in research at the University of Washington.
Over the years, my work has taken me into primary care, nursing homes, and medical schools, and I've held management responsibilities in non-profit settings. Most recently, I've worked in non-profit mental health here in Colorado. Across these settings, I've supported people at very different stages of life, which informs how I listen and how I work with individuals, couples, and families today.
