“I just explained to him less than 5 minutes what’s going on with me, and he gave me the path I should follow. It was like a magic. It was like he knew exactly what I’m going through. Thank you Mr Alex. You taught me a lot today. ”

Getting to know Alex Ladyzhensky
Hi, I'm Alex Ladyzhensky. I've been working with clients suffering from self-sabotage and self-defeating tendencies, repressed anger, childhood traumas, and abuse. I hold a Master's degree in Physics from the University of Kharkiv, Ukraine; a Master's in Philosophy from the University of California, Santa Barbara; and a Master's in Clinical Social Work (LCSW/R) from Adelphi University. I was closely associated with J. Krishnamurti, a great spiritual teacher, participating in his seminars and teaching at his school in Ojai, California. Additionally, I studied Kabbalah in Israel through graduate courses at Tel Aviv University and private study.
I'm here to help you discover freedom from feelings of insecurity, loneliness, and suppressed anger, and to support you in making your search for life's purpose and meaning successful.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I can accept out-of-network patients if the deductible is met

Of the near 10 different therapist I have had over the last 4 years, for the first I have finally found, spoke with, and realized whatever I felt prior to the appointment with Alex, Im left afterwards with a refreshing and inspired frame of mind and positive physical energy. Alex is by far in a category of his own, where anyone would respond to a session with excitement to take action and book another session without hesistation. For once I have a therapist who I look forward to each session, and the only complaint I would make note of, is that 40 mins isnt long enough :). Every session I can always count on Alex to offer a helpful strategy as a means of working through a particular challenge. I’m beyond grateful I found him, and plan to stay with him for as long as I am permitted.
May 20, 2025Joshua E.Verified patientVideo visit
Very good active listener, communication is outstanding and empathetic. Offers helpful strategies each session. Extremely smart and sharp. Always a pleasure and calming session and knows how to target specific areas or situations to help with clearer understanding and awareness. Would recommend 10 fold!
May 14, 2025Joshua E.Verified patientVideo visit
I found him looking for EMDR provider and was bummed at first when he told me in the beginning he doesn’t really practice EMDR but uses other modalities of alternative therapy which I am all about. I’m glad I found him, we did a quick meditation and even after the quick meditation my face changed from the beginning of the appointment to the end I went from being overwhelmed and sad to a little more at peace in just our first session :) looking forward to my next apt!
May 5, 2025Ivanna A.Verified patientVideo visit
Wonderful, felt super validated and listened to. Would recommend 10x. He will provide you with the necessary push back to make you think and understand a different perspective to your problems. Definitely coming back!

Alex Ladyzhensky is someone who practices via a holistic approach. He uses his lived experience as well as his educational background to conduct therapeutic assessments. He combines eastern medicine with western medicine. Very knowledgeable individual. Very helpful and positive. Highly recommend. I can tell based off my experience as an RN that this kind of therapist is hard to come by. Thank you!

Alex Ladyzhensky has so much wisdom, in so many different facets of life. From relationships, ptsd, anxiety, depression, and even finding our true selves. He’s helped me accept having attention deficit disorder.
