Getting to know Alejandra Schraier

I'm a psychotherapist with almost thirty years of clinical experience and a deep-rooted background in psychoanalysis. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse, global clientele, focusing on helping adults navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, eating disorders, bi-cultural issues, and complex family or relationship dynamics. My journey began in Argentina, where I earned a Master's in Clinical Psychology from the University of Buenos Aires. Later, I earned a Master's degree in Social Work from New York University's Silver School of Social Work. Alongside my clinical training, I pursued extensive studies in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. I believe that the ability to deeply listen and identify underlying issues is fundamental to the therapeutic process. For me, symptoms cannot be viewed in isolation but must be understood within the broader context of the patient's life experiences. I work primarily with a psychodynamic approach that I consider important for helping clients gain insight, a better understanding of themselves, and a clearer sense of how their symptoms have manifested and impacted their lives.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Patients should know that I focus on understanding clients as individuals, rather than labeling them with disorders. I see symptoms as part of a larger story, and my goal is to help clients uncover that story to facilitate growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

After booking an appointment, you will receive an email with a link to add your information and sign necessary documents. If I accept your insurance, the system will ask you to input your insurance details, and this needs to be done at least 2-3 days before your appointment so that the billing company I work with, Alma, has time to verify your insurance prior to your session. If this is not done on time, your session will need to be rescheduled, or you can opt to pay out of pocket. The system will also ask you to add your credit card information so that copayments can be automatically processed after each session. If you are not using insurance, your credit card will be charged the full session amount, and you will receive an invoice that you can use for insurance reimbursement.
