“Alex was been such an amazing help in assisting me in working through some childhood trauma that I have been ignoring my entire life. He listens and truly cares about my well being. He continues to provide me with the tools I need when handling my anxiety and depression which at times becomes very overwhelming. Thank you for everything Alex!!”

Getting to know Alexander Badillo
Alex’s philosophy on mental health is grounded in the belief that we all possess the answers to our questions, but may need support in uncovering and accepting them. Through a warm, empathic, and collaborative approach, Alex works with clients to clarify their thoughts, establish meaningful goals, and move toward fuller, more purposeful lives. This work can be both challenging and invigorating, inviting clients into areas of self-discovery that are often unexplored. Alex believes that the better we understand ourselves, the better we understand the world around us—and that this understanding empowers us to shape our lives in alignment with our goals.
Alex places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, believing it to be the foundation of meaningful healing. A natural communicator, he earned a degree in Communication from Seton Hall University, with a minor in French, before completing his Juris Doctor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. He practiced law in a variety of settings and states, but ultimately felt drawn toward more direct, person-centered work. Counseling allows Alex to focus on conflict resolution and personal growth rather than conflict creation.
Alex earned his Master’s degree in Mental Health and Wellness from New York University. His professional background makes him especially well suited to support individuals working in high-stress environments, as he understands firsthand the pressures and challenges they face. At the same time, his inclusive and adaptable approach allows him to work effectively with clients from all walks of life.
Alex provides counseling for a wide range of concerns, including substance use, anxiety, depression, relationships and couples counseling, workplace challenges, perfectionism, trauma, multicultural issues, and LGBTQ+ life experiences. Having traveled extensively, Alex brings a deep respect for cultural diversity to his work and is fully fluent in Spanish.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
