Getting to know Alexander Ochoa

My name is Dr. Alexander Ochoa, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in San Francisco, CA. I provide individual therapy for teens, young adults, and adults. I focus on sports mental health, athletes struggling with fears of re-injury, effective communication, identity loss, anxiety, depression, substance use, life transitions, parenting, and conflict resolution. I hold a PhD in Family Therapy from Saint Louis University. My approach I practice from a systems perspective, which means that I view clients’ actions, thoughts, and feelings as a result of the systems within which they live. I encourage clients to think about their larger context and how they fit into the picture when it comes to relationships, families, communities, teams, and workplaces. I help clients set goals for themselves, whether those goals are for a state of well-being, a level of performance at work or in their sport, or a better place in their relationships. I then support clients as they work towards their goals, circling back to why they’re in therapy as a way of reminding them where they’re headed. My focus I specialize in working with individuals who would like to grow their performance by prioritizing their mental health. I have helped athletes who struggle with fears of injury and reinjury, as well as those who want to develop a strong mindset in their sport. I support clients who struggle with identity loss, anxiety, depression, substance use, and relationship conflicts. Many of my clients come to therapy to learn skills in effective communication so they can resolve conflict successfully. My communication style Empathetic but helping you push your boundaries on thoughts and behaviors. My goals for you Forward focused. We can understand where you have been, and that gives us direction for where you want to be. My first session with you Understanding the problems from your perspective and getting to understand the system you are a part of.
