Our Therapists

Dr. Alex Babani, Psy.D, LPCC, MT-BC

Jean Ramsey, MA, LPCC

Hi there my name is Dr. Alex and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), with doctorate level training in Professional Psychology. I began working in the field with a degree and board-certification in Music Therapy, and I have an extensive background working with children, adolescents and families in New Mexico.

The Center for Life Changes is a new venture here in Albuquerque to serve the Albuquerque metro area. I treat people by assisting them in exploring issues and challenges affecting their mental health and overall wellness. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field and am fluent in Spanish. Using a holistic approach in treating individuals and families, I draw from a Psychodynamic and Humanistic background while specializing in Music Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to meet the specific needs individual and families.

I have experience working with people dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, parenting and relationship issues as well as work and life dissatisfaction among other issues. My role as a helper is very important to me and I am always humbled when people sit before me and reveal their vulnerable selves. I find so much joy in watching others shed their pain and move forward.

I view counseling as an interactive process that requires me to learn how to best help you. I will strive to help you walk away from a session with me feeling more understanding and compassion for yourself and knowing that you have participated in forming a plan for our work together and concrete steps to take before the next session.

I have training in and utilize techniques from EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, DBT, Brainspotting, Solution-Focused, as well as Motivational and Coaching approaches. The main focus of my training over the past several years has been on trauma treatment and I find those techniques helpful for most of the people I serve. I encourage people I work with to understand their mental health in the greater context of their overall health and well-being and make sustainable changes to benefit the whole person. If you feel that I would be a good fit for you or a good referral source for someone you are working with, please contact me.
