“My time with Alexander has been excellent, as he has shown care and attentiveness to all details of our appointments to try and understand the contexts and conditions that produce even seemingly mundane details, actions, feelings. I have a history of disappointment with analysis and psychotherapy (which isnt to reduce or confuse the two with each other, simply to point out the precedent), and I have had by far the best experience with Alexander. Great all around”

“At the time of this review, I have been working with Alexander for a little over 4 years. I came to him after years of emotional turmoil, loneliness, impulsiveness, and depression. I was confused about a lot of very big feelings.
As I look back on our time together so far, I am amazed at how much so many aspects of my thinking, self treatment, and perspective have transformed thanks to his unwavering non judgement and consistent presence in the room. He listens so deeply that it never ceased to amaze me. Honestly, to be listened to like that has all made me a braver person.
Working to heal and shift a lifetime of hurt takes times; I feel supported and cared for and am continuing with Alexander for a foreseeable future to keep working toward goals that, before working with him, I'd given up on.”

Getting to know Alexander Ferrando
Whether you are facing a specific problem that feels insurmountable or have an underlying sense that who you are does not correspond to who you want to be, psychoanalytic therapy offers a unique experience that can mitigate feelings of anxiety, depression, impulsiveness, and dissatisfaction.
I provide an environment for you to express yourself without the expectations and etiquette that are typically demanded of us. My position as a neutral, non-judgmental listener enables you to grow more comfortable as our work together unfolds. The goal is for you to have an experience in which you can speak with an ease that is rare, if not impossible, in other relationships. I carefully listen to your memories, impressions, and reactions-and also notice the subjects you avoid or minimize. I aim for you to have an encounter that awakens your curiosity so that you may discover long-held ideas about yourself and the world, ideas you likely did not know you had or did not previously give much importance to. It is often the case that, unbeknownst to us, these ideas cause us to act in self-undermining ways.
I will help you discover your present limitations and the resources you possess so that you can start living according to your distinct passions, ambitions, and capabilities. These are different for everyone, which is why my work, unlike manualized approaches, is tailored to your specific needs. This process can be surprising, challenging, and exciting, and its benefits profound.
I hold a Certificate in Psychoanalysis from the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis, which informs my approach and commitment to providing thoughtful, individualized care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a New York State Licensed Psychoanalyst in Manhattan offering in-person and remote sessions to adults. I completed the License Qualifying Program at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP), a postgraduate psychoanalytic training institute in New York City. I earned an MA from the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My clinical practice is deeply informed by my education in the arts and humanities as well as 15 years of professional experience in the contemporary art world. I worked as a director of two distinguished art galleries where I collaborated with established artists, major museums, and other high-level professionals from across the globe. As a result, I am well versed in the unique challenges faced by artists, designers, writers, and other driven individuals working in creative fields.
I am sensitive to the socio-cultural experiences of my patients, having worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds of race, nationality, gender, class, and sexuality.
