Alexander Graham

Therapist

Virtual • San Francisco, CA


I specialize in supporting people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, trauma, life transitions and much more. I have extensive experience working with high acuity teens, and I also work with adults of all ages who are navigating imbalance, self-acceptance uncertainty, or emotional overload. I support parents who need guidance in understanding their child’s needs or simply a calm place to process their own feelings. No matter your age or background, if you are struggling to find balance and peace in life, I am here to help.

My approach begins with the belief that life poses great challenges for all of us. Through these challenges, we develop adaptive patterns that may help us survive but can also bring disharmony. I aim to help you bring awareness to these patterns, loosen their grip, and reshape them so you can find greater balance and harmony in your relationship with yourself, others, and the world.

Psychologist

Virtual • California


I've been in therapy myself and have both healed and grown tremendously having worked with

therapists. Through my work with skilled therapists, I have become a more present, alive, whole-

bodied person that has learned to love myself--to be kinder to myself, less self-critical, happier,

and enjoy expressing my various forms of creativity. I'm not perfect but I continue to make shifts

when I drift into old patterns. As a result of these experiences and recommitting to shifting into

presence, self-acceptance, and whole-body awareness I feel more connected, alive and at peace. I

enjoy loving relationships with the people closest to me including my wife and children. When

not working with people, I enjoy reading biographies and adventure novels, playing board and

card games, watching live baseball games, and enjoying a variety of outdoor activities and

pursuits.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Berkeley

Finding the right therapist in Berkeley starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges — or whether you're looking for broader mental health care. Berkeley has a wide range of licensed providers, including therapists (LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs), psychologists, and psychiatrists who can prescribe medication.

From there, think about logistics that matter to you: whether you prefer in-person sessions in Berkeley or virtual appointments, what days and times work with your schedule, and whether a provider's approach or background is important to you. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you get a sense of their style and decide if they might be a good match.

Therapy in Berkeley can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session with coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans — making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
