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.

Joshua Zisholtz

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

No human is broken. We are all, simply, the logical conclusion of the sum of our total experiences, operating in the exact way the human system was intended to operate, by adapting.

In a relational, humanistic, and conversational style, we will work to piece together your narrative in a way that connects the total sum of your experiences to your present thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns. Through focusing on development of the ability to maintain internal validity and positive self-regard, individuals will actively reduce self-shame, self-judgement, and self-harm, in order to find the healing, growth, and change they are hoping for.
