Getting to know Alex Rossman

My name is Alex Rossman. I have been an LCSW clinician for 25 years. I believe in kindness, respect, and helping others understand that we all have issues in life. Instead of the impossible task of trying to be perfect, I think it's important to be proactive rather than just reactive, as being reactive often makes challenges feel like struggles. My approach I believe in working as a team and treating clients as equals. I want you to feel comfortable telling me what works for you and what doesn't during our sessions. Therapy is about you, and you should ask for what you need. My modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), family systems, mindfulness-focused, and eclectic therapy. My focus I work with individuals aged 18 to 90, as well as couples and families. In family therapy, I work with families with young children, teens, and adult children. I help people dealing with mood issues such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, as well as OCD, family and marital issues, school and work concerns, inner childhood work with adults, and general life challenges. My communication style I treat each client individually. I'm an interactive therapist, so if you ask me a question, I will do my best to answer it rather than put it back on you. Please feel free to look on Healthgrades under Alex Rossman, LICSW, to see what my clients thought of me when I had a private practice in Boston. My journey to mental healthcare I have had OCD since I was 7 years old. I often felt misunderstood by the clinicians I saw and believed something was wrong with me. My first session with you The first session will be an assessment, where you will be asked a range of questions to help both you and me understand your current challenges and determine the best direction for therapy. I earned my Master's in Social Work from San Diego State University.
