Getting to know Dr. Alexander (Alex) Wheeler

I am currently accepting new clients (in-person in Cambridge, MA, and online in MA, CA, VA, and FL). I work with adults, teenagers, and children around a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship issues, and the impacts of trauma. I have eight years of clinical experience, and three years of training through Harvard Medical School. My approach is relational, collaborative, and pragmatic. I have a specialty in working with anxiety and OCD, with a focus on how chronic worry drives anxiety.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use evidence-based approaches and work from a whole-person perspective. With OCD, I approach ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention therapy) through a focus on compulsive worry. I am trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy) and regularly integrate this approach into my work. Specific areas/search terms: HOCD, SO-OCD, sexual orientation OCD, ROCD, relationship OCD, POCD, intrusive thoughts, violent thoughts, retroactive jealousy, real event OCD; somatic OCD; BFRB, TTM, hair-pulling, skin-picking; social anxiety, health anxiety, hypochondriasis, body dysmorphic disorder, relationship issues

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When you book an appointment through Zocdoc I will contact you to meet by phone before the session for a short free 10-15 minute consultation. This consultation will allow me to hear about your needs and answer any questions you may have.
