Dr. Alexa Wasserman, Psychologist
About me
Welcome to your journey toward healing and wholeness. ✨
Whether you feel completely overwhelmed by life or are just looking for some support, I hope you recognize that by reaching out you have already overcome one of the most difficult parts of the journey. What gives me the authority to make such a claim? I stand by this belief as a product of my 20 years of clinical experience practicing as a psychologist but more profoundly based on my own personal journey toward healing and wholeness.
It is my goal to ensure a positive, trusting therapeutic relationship so that we can create a safe place to work through whatever difficulties you may be facing. I believe in setting collaborative goals with my clients to help them with their areas of need, while also empowering them to use their strengths to overcome difficulties. To reach this end, I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches that incorporate cognitive-behavioral, client-centered and solution focused techniques. I also value the use of mindfulness techniques when my clients feel comfortable doing so.
It would be an honor and pleasure to accompany you on your personal journey! ✨

I am happy to have found Dr. W. She is a dream come true. She truly hears every word that I am saying and responds in a non-judgmental way. I enjoy every encounter with her because she is always present and ready to listen to whatever I have to express. She deserves all the stars in the world.

Dr Wasserman is amazing. I feel so much better and have been able to open up to her in a way I have not been able to with other therapists. She has a wonderful approachability about her and is a badass therapist. I can't say enough good things about her.
