Alexandra Bennett

Alexandra specializes in working with children and teens dealing with anxiety disorders, OCD, and ADHD. Her practice is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), with a focus on helping young people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier ways of coping. She is trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD through the IOCDF. With younger clients, she often utilizes play-based methods to make therapy feel approachable and engaging.

Alexandra also has special interests in supporting student-athletes and Third Culture Kids, drawing from her own background as both a college athlete and someone who grew up overseas. Additionally, she helps children navigate grief, illness, and family changes, guiding them through periods of transition.

Alexandra collaborates closely with schools and other professionals to help children receive consistent care across all areas of their lives. Drawing on her experience as the former Lower School Counselor at The Windward School, where she supported students with language-based learning challenges, she values a collaborative approach that considers the important role schools and families play in a child's well-being.
