Dr. Aleksandra Phillips

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Massachusetts


My path into psychiatry began in surgery, where I originally planned to become a neurosurgeon. During medical school, I participated in a diving expedition and later worked on the Biosphere 2 project — experiences that immersed me in extreme environments and sparked a deep curiosity about how people think, feel, and relate to one another under pressure. That curiosity led me to psychiatry, and since then I have combined rigorous medical training with psychodynamic study to better understand and treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I provide telehealth psychiatric care to adults, adolescents, and children in Massachusetts and Connecticut, with a special focus on trauma, treatment-resistant conditions, and pediatric psychiatry, including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Many of the people I work with have felt unheard or discouraged in previous treatment — and I take that seriously.

Welcome! I provide individual therapy for college/ graduate students, professionals, and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, crises of meaning, and the deeper questions that arise in times of uncertainty. Many of my clients come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected- from themselves, others, or a clear sense of purpose. Our work together explores not just symptom relief, but what it means to live more fully and authentically. Together, we reconnect with your values, develop practical skills for navigating life's challenges, and explore the deeper patterns and past experiences that may be shaping your present.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Boston

Finding OCD therapists in Boston starts with looking for training that matches the care you need. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based approach for OCD, and many people also look for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, and related stress. Not all therapists who list OCD have specific ERP training, so review each bio for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Boston has many mental health care options across neighborhoods like Back Bay, Cambridge, Fenway, and the South End, which can make it harder to narrow your search. If you want in-person OCD therapy near you, consider commute time, transit access, and office location. If you prefer virtual sessions, you may have more scheduling options across Massachusetts. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how clearly they describe their approach to OCD therapy.

Therapy in Boston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you compare OCD therapists in Boston who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
