Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Boston, MA

I earned my Bachelor of Nursing from University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!) before moving to Boston to start my career in bedside nursing in 2019. After serving as an RN and Director of Nursing at a residential treatment center, I earned my PMHNP at Regis College to specialize in mental health. Since then, I’ve gained diverse experience providing cutting-edge ketamine therapy in outpatient clinics and managing complex cases in inpatient psychiatry. Now, I’m bringing that clinical expertise—along with post-graduate training in CBT—to my full-time private practice, where I provide comprehensive, compassionate care for patients navigating anxiety, depression, OCD and ADHD in the South Boston area.

Hello! So glad you are here. My name is Alex (she/her) and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing in the field for five years. I received a Master’s in Social Work from Boston College, with a Certificate in Mental Health & Trauma. Previously, I worked with refugee and asylum seeking populations in the Refugee Resettlement Program.

More recently, I have experience working with children and families as an In-Home Therapist and Intensive Care Coordinator and with individuals in inpatient behavioral health. I also facilitated in piloting a Short-Term Outpatient Therapy Program with Wayside Youth & Families in Framingham, MA and have been providing individual outpatient therapy the past two years to all ages and stages of life.

I also am an avid outdoor rock climber (for the past 12 years) and can support individuals who are looking for support within their own sport/athletic hobby in mindset and performance focus, trauma processing, or exploration around risk within climbing and alpinism.

Want to make the most of your life, but something keeps getting in the way?

I work with thoughtful, high-energy adults who feel held back by patterns they can’t seem to break—whether that’s anxiety, addiction, trauma, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, depression, or persistent overthinking. Stop letting your lizard brain run the show.

Together, we’ll identify the emotional and behavioral patterns that no longer serve you, understand where they came from, and develop practical ways to move forward. My goal is not simply symptom reduction, but helping you create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and fully your own.

I am an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I have over six years of experience treating individuals and groups with struggles such as depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation, substance use disorders, and relationship issues.

Life can bring moments that feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming—whether from anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, or loss of direction. You may feel stuck or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and create a path toward emotional clarity, healing, and growth. Together, we’ll uncover the “why” behind your challenges and help you move toward a calmer, more balanced, and empowered version of yourself.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy and compassion in an emotionally safe environment. I am passionate about helping people through the most difficult challenges life may have. I work with people to build their self-worth, ease emotional pain, and help regain a sense of enjoyment in their life as they once had. I envision helping people recognize their strengths, then build on their strengths, to help them to become more self-confident, happy and aware.
