It's time to stop the black-and-white thinking. Life is more complicated than being consumers, patients, victims, sinners, predators, addicts.
You won't get sirens when you help.
I consider myself a Last Responder.
But we CAN be effective.
Society is so crippled by lawyers and check-boxes that many of our paid leaders are trapped and ineffective. They can't solve the fact that 4th grade already predicts how many prisons to build. They fund more of the same!
Society is in trouble.
Yet we have so much potential right next to each other, in each other.
Let's speak truth to powerless.
Right now, wherever it's needed.
Unleash your powers from the current compromise.
Be able to help.
Learn CPR for trauma.
Help your neighbor recover, come back to the fold.
Stop standing by, watching shipwrecks.
Join us!
We'll figure out something.
Who is behind this? [Whom can we sue?]
My name is Fernando Alessandri, I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Mississippi. My training is second-to-none, with practicum, internship, and post-doc experiences at VA Medical Centers in San Diego (UCSD) and Honolulu. I have worked in crisis mental health in rural Mississippi (inpatient); served at Neighborhood Healthcare in Escondido, California; the Veteran’s Administration Clinic in Frederick, Maryland; The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic in Dallas; Crossover Health serving employees of companies like Meta/Facebook and Apple; and most recently working with offenders at a maximum security state prison in California and a maximum security NY forensic hospital before that. I know way too much about what’s really going on across society and just need to do more.
In launching this educational venture to make bystanders extremely CAPABLE, I am seeking to bring knowledge and wisdom and my own life lessons to a far greater audience that I can reach as an individual therapist. My goal is to educate, train, and cause a ripple effect of an ever-widening circle of people-helping-people. CPR did it for physical health, I want to do the same for the kind of suffering that involves the mind, heart, soul, attentional resources, choice-making, existential questions, and more.
Disclaimer: The services I provide here are not therapy, medicine, or healthcare. They are not governed by a state or national Board. Your benefitting from my education and experience does not establish a patient-doctor relationship. Thank you.

Use this to better know yourself and as a preparation for talking to someone supportive like a therapist. Stop avoiding, ignoring, suppressing, dodging, etc. your deepest darkest fears. That only prolongs your suffering. It may be wiser to dig in deep, do the “root canal,” and start the real recovery.

iStink (App)
If you're in a very dark place, it's time to bottom out.
And rebuild from there. This app can help you get started on that journey by encountering words and ideas that you can ponder. They may also help you express yourself to a professional. (Not law enforcement, hopefully.)
Our minds say terrible things to us, and many are not true. But they FEEL true. So carry this in your pocket to help sort things out when they come up.

Join my effort to understand and deepen the conversation about violations of power and privilege. The "bad apple" theory is just wrong. With enough "load" any structure will fail. Behaviors that seem shocking to some seem quite predictable in hindsight.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Do you see patients?
I am transitioning from being a regionally-licensed healthcare provider to being what I call a Co-Journeyer, Coach, Consultant, and Educator with international reach. My style involves education, entertainment, humor, critical thinking, problem-solving, and more. In this endeavor I do not diagnose, nor treat pathology. This work is not psychotherapy, medicine, or healthcare., nor under the purview of any licensing Board. Please seek those interventions from locally licensed professionals.
Are you accepting Co-Journeyers, Coaching clients, etc.?
Yes and No. As I try to scale this I am most eager to work in group formats. My experience with trauma and other conditions taught me that isolation and shame around these topics is often part of the problem. And that sharing our struggles with others is not a small factor in the success of programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and their sister-program, Al-Anon.org. I believe people benefit a great deal from small groups of 4-6 peers. This approach normalizes human problems, fosters peer friendships, builds a sense of accountability, and helps keep coaching affordable.
Beyond the services on this Site and the classes they link to, how do I request personal or peer services?
