“Working with Alex has been a transformative experience. He creates a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment—something I didn’t fully realize I needed until I found it with him. His ability to listen, challenge, and guide with compassion has made a real impact on my mental health and overall outlook. Whether we’re unpacking big moments or day-to-day struggles, I always walk away from our sessions feeling heard, grounded, and a little more at peace. I’m truly grateful for the work we’ve done together.”

Getting to know Alexander Olenick

Psychotherapy is a collaborative, individualized experience-a richly customized service catering to your personal needs. As a therapist, my responsibility lies in assisting you as best as possible by meeting you where you currently are, seeing your world with you, and supporting the direction you'll be steering your life toward. I provide therapy richly informed by Humanistic therapies, Depth psychology, and other clinically proven interventions. I'll be your active companion, fully involved by giving you the counsel you need in a safe, nurturing, supportive space. As human beings, we are naturally on course to develop ourselves and evolve along our own unique timelines. However, the pressure and burden of life throw us conflict and distinct challenges, causing psychological pain along our journeys, which can create instability and discontent-not knowing how to direct our lives moving forward. Our process working together collaboratively will highlight personal empowerment: enlarging your sense of self and expanding your capacity to experience yourself, allowing you the freedom to be who you want to be. I look forward to fortifying a therapeutic relationship together, dedicating and progressing toward the version of yourself you aim to achieve. I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, which informs my clinical approach and commitment to your growth.

Alexander is wonderful. He is an empathetic listener who cares. I can tell that he excels as tailoring his guidance to the individual patient.
Alex was super easy to talk to, and was able to very quickly help me work through /frame some issues I was having. He's a very active listener, and is happy to let you direct the session in whichever way you want it to go. The sessions really flew by and I felt like I was consistently coming away from them better.
Alex has been such a positive and helpful resource in my life since I started therapy. He’s a great listener and very thoughtful/genuine in his responses. He’s been able to share tools and knowledge that has been very useful in my new journey as a partner and father. I highly recommend him if you want someone who listens, helps work through tough conversations, and offers a safe space to share and explore your thoughts/feelings.
I enjoy working with Alexander. He listens well and provides a great space for me to work though the ups and downs of life where I feel heard and supported.
This is my first time going to therapy and I was honestly skeptical at first but ever since our first session he has changed my outlook on seeking help. He is a great listener, great communicator, and he makes me feel seen as well as understood. I highly recommend him! -Ryan

This is my first time diving into therapy and i’ve had a wonderful first session with Alexander. He’s a great listener and has great questions and did a great job at making me feel comfortable. I look forward to more sessions with him.

Fantastic experience all around. Alex is a great listener and has given me helpful advice and techniques to help calm feelings of anxiety and panic. I have been working with him for about a month and looking forward to continued success working with him. Extremely affordable with my insurance, and easy to communicate with the office. Remote system works well.

Administrative paperwork, wait times, meeting links and everything else related to the therapy but not the therapy itself are all very straightforward and easy to navigate. Alexander is transparent, easy to talk to, and a good listener.
