Alexandra McClellan, LCAT/CAT-LP (she/her)
Psychotherapist
Psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott said “When I look, I am seen, so I exist. I can now afford to look and see.”Each of us deserve to be seen for who we are at our core. I believe through self-exploration in therapy, we are enabled to show up authentically in relationships, career, and other areas of life.
Together, we will unpack, observe, and engage with what you’re facing, and at your pace, to help you feel your most capable and empowered self. Whether you’re an adolescent navigating your internal world, an adult looking to launch your relationships and career, a performing artist struggling with burnout, or a parent coping with life changes, we can release what you no longer want to hold, and embrace all that you do.
My clinical experience includes adolescent in-patient psychiatry, adult in-patient psychiatry, and in-patient medical/ palliative care. My integrative training has prepared me to best help you navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, psychosis, grief, trauma, familial conflicts, life changes, mood challenges, and behavioral challenges.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Dance and Psychology from Marymount Manhattan College and Master of Science in Dance/Movement Psychotherapy from Pratt Institute. I specialize in dance/movement therapy, trauma-informed care, humanistic therapies, and relational-centered therapeutic approaches. I believe that you are the expert of your life and that together, we can create a collaboration rooted in curiosity, compassion, and play. I invite you to schedule an intake appointment with me. I am honored to meet you!
