Getting to know Alex Melkumian

I'm Dr. Alex, a Marriage and Family Therapist trained at Antioch University - Los Angeles, with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Ryokan College. With a diverse background as a former athlete and a specialist in financial therapy, I offer a broad range of services—from traditional therapeutic practices and sports psychology to targeted strategies that address the complex interplay between emotional and financial well-being. My practice is particularly attuned to the needs of professionals and working Americans, who often face significant financial stress alongside their career demands.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In therapy, I use an empathic and empowering approach, blending insights from sports psychology, traditional therapy, and financial wellness practices. I focus on uncovering the emotional roots of your financial behaviors, integrating evidence-based strategies to promote psychological resilience and financial savvy. This holistic approach helps clients navigate stressors related both to their careers and personal finances, fostering greater emotional and financial stability.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our sessions, you can expect a supportive environment that encourages personal growth and practical outcomes. I aim to empower you with the skills needed to manage both emotional and financial stress effectively. Clients leave with enhanced emotional awareness, improved financial literacy, and strategies for achieving both their career and personal life goals, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.
