My approach integrates psychodynamic, CBT, mindfulness-based, and relational techniques, with a strong focus on culturally responsive, trauma-informed care.

Throughout my career, I’ve held leadership roles at institutions such as NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell, Columbia University, and other systems, where I provided direct care, supervised clinical teams, and designed trauma-focused programs. In 2020, I was honored to receive the Rape Crisis Professional Award from the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault, and I’ve had the privilege of supervising master’s-level social work students throughout my career.

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.

Julie Iannone

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

I am trained in both the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), two evidence-based approaches to couples work. Together, they give me a rich framework for helping couples feel truly heard, have better conversations, and rebuild the connection, friendship, trust, and intimacy that brought them together in the first place, including rediscovering the lightness and fun that can get lost over time.
The same principles that guide my couples work inform my approach with individual clients as well, because how we relate to others is inseparable from how we understand ourselves.
