Rebecca Alexander

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, EMDR, LCSW-R, MPH

I’m a psychotherapist with over two decades of experience helping individuals, couples, and families move through the complex and often contradictory realities of being human. My work is grounded in psychodynamic exploration and shaped by a strengths-based belief that people aren’t starting from scratch—they already hold the insight, resilience, and inner resources needed for healing. Therapy offers the support and perspective that allow those parts to emerge.

I draw from a broad and flexible range of modalities—DBT, IFS, AF-EMDR, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and addiction-informed approaches—so the work is responsive, intuitive, and tailored to each person’s needs and inner rhythm.

Collaboration is central to my practice. Clients thrive when the professionals supporting them are aligned, so I welcome close partnership with other clinicians to create thoughtful, coordinated care. I also provide supervision and consultation for therapists who want to deepen their clinical thinking and show up for their clients with clarity, consistency, and humanity.
