Meet Alexandra Vaganova, LMFT, MCAP
You look strong on the outside, but inside, it feels like a different story. You keep everything running at home and at work while quietly carrying anxiety, childhood wounds, or the pressure to be perfect. You do everything for everyone, yet still wonder:
"Am I enough?"
I am Alexandra Vaganova, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida and Arizona, Certified EMDR practitioner, Certified Hypnotherapist, and Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP). I help clients heal from childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and panic attacks.
If you are ready for real relief and lasting change, you are in the right place.

Your Journey to Self-Empowerment Starts Here
Imagine trusting yourself again. Imagine letting go of guilt, releasing the inner critic, and stepping into the life you know you could have.
I combine talk therapy, Inner Child work, parts work, and trauma-focused approaches to help you find clarity, calm, and emotional strength. My style is supportive, grounded, and direct when needed. Together, we focus on practical tools for daily stress and deeper healing for the emotional pain beneath it.
Your healing journey starts with one choice: choosing yourself.

Healing Childhood Trauma and Narcissistic Abuse
I am dedicated to helping victims and survivors of both childhood abuse and partner abuse. These experiences often go hand in hand.
To enter or remain in an abusive adult relationship, a person has usually learned certain survival patterns in childhood. Many of my clients later recognize that they were raised by emotionally immature or narcissistic parents.
Narcissistic abuse in childhood is particularly complex.
It often creates a false image of a "good childhood," because narcissistic parents teach children to carry guilt, minimize harm, and avoid speaking about the truth. As adults, these clients struggle to identify what happened, feel confused about their experiences, and may even feel uncomfortable acknowledging the pain in therapy.
My role is to help untangle these patterns with compassion and clarity. I guide clients through the process of understanding their past without shame and help them build the emotional freedom they never had growing up.

Heal Relationship Patterns and Build Healthy Connections
If you grew up in chaos, had a narcissistic partner, or always feel unheard, relationships can feel overwhelming. You may repeat the same painful patterns, give too much, or struggle to set boundaries.
I help clients break free from toxic dynamics, communicate clearly, and rebuild trust within themselves. Whether it is with a partner, a parent, or a friend, we work toward relationships that bring peace instead of stress.
With the right support, healthy love becomes possible.
Trauma-Informed Therapy for Anxiety, Panic, and Childhood Wounds
Healing requires safety and compassion. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions and finally release what has been weighing you down.
My trauma-focused methods include:
• Hypnotherapy
• Inner Child work
• EMDR
• CBT and mindfulness-based strategies
Hypnotherapy & Inner Child Work
Hypnotherapy helps access the subconscious mind where many emotional wounds are stored. Clients use this process to release old pain, heal childhood trauma, break negative patterns, and reconnect with their most authentic selves.
This work supports:
• Emotional healing
• Confidence and self-worth
• Resilience and clarity
• Healthier relationships
• Calmer nervous system responses
When you heal your past, your present becomes lighter.

Experience
I’m dedicated to continuous education and refining my techniques. To that extent, I regularly attend workshops and education programs to keep up with innovations in mental health care.
The commitment to providing premium and compassionate care allows me to approach every client’s needs with a fresh perspective, crafting the most effective treatment plan using the latest techniques.
My Guiding Principles
At Serenity Space Therapy, my work is grounded in three core principles that shape the healing experience.
CONNECTION
Healing begins with reconnecting to yourself, your emotions, and your values. If you feel lost, anxious, or out of balance, therapy provides a path back to clarity and emotional grounding.
COMPASSION
Many clients carry a harsh inner critic. In our sessions, we focus on slowing down that negative voice and cultivating compassion for yourself. You deserve understanding, patience, and kindness.
CREATIVITY
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I integrate creativity into every session, adapting techniques in a way that best fits your unique needs and goals. This approach helps create lasting transformations and more meaningful change.
