About Me
Alejandra Schraier is a Psychotherapist with a background in Psychology and Psychoanalysis. Her training began as a Psychologist in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and in 2006 She graduated from New York University with a Masters degree in Social Work. Additionally, she has completed extensive training in Psychoanalysis, at the EOL - World Association for Psychoanalysis.
During more than twenty five years of clinical experience, Alejandra has worked with patients who struggle with anxiety, depression, additions, life transition, family, and relationship problems. Working in New York City for twenty years, she has also gained extensive experience working with a global clientele with cultural diversity.
Alejandra works primarily with a psychodynamic approach that she considers important for helping clients gain insight, a better understanding of themselves, and a better understanding on how their symptoms have manifested and impacted their life.
Alejandra believes that the therapist’s ability to listen to the patients, and to see their underlying issues is one of the most important aspects that contribute to the patients insight and growth in the therapeutic process.
She believes that patient’s symptoms can’t be seen and treated in isolation, and is always important to understand how and when the symptoms have emerged and developed in a persons’s life.
