Getting to know Alexandra Kagan

Struggling with relationship challenges? Whether it's overcoming communication hurdles, healing from infidelity, or building deeper intimacy, I’m here to guide you through. As a therapist focused on relationship issues and couples therapy, I use practical, research-backed methods to help you communicate openly and reconnect. Therapy with me is designed to feel safe and approachable, allowing you to examine and address relationship dynamics that may be holding you back from the connection you desire. My approach is rooted in empowering you to feel understood, respected, and equipped with the skills to make meaningful changes. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from New York University and completed my internship at Marilyn and Sheldon David IVDU Upper Boys School, experiences that have shaped my compassionate and effective therapeutic style.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I also specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, panic disorders, personality disorders, and eating disorders. I integrate CBT and DBT to support you in developing coping strategies, managing intense emotions, and reshaping negative thought patterns. For eating disorders and borderline personality disorder, these techniques offer a structured way to build self-regulation and find healthier ways of thinking. My experience leading DBT groups has shown me how powerful these skills can be in helping clients navigate overwhelming emotions and cultivate lasting change.
With a background across diverse settings—from high schools and outpatient clinics to group homes—I’ve supported children, adolescents, adults, and couples at all stages of life. My hands-on experience with institutions like NYU’s IVDU Boys' School and Bleuler Psychotherapy Center has honed my strengths-based, client-centered approach. Together, we’ll focus on your unique strengths and values, building resilience and creating a foundation for lasting progress.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our sessions, you’ll find a comfortable, non-judgmental space where you can address life’s complexities with confidence. We’ll work collaboratively to set achievable goals, and I’ll provide you with the tools and strategies to keep making progress between sessions. Therapy is your space to feel empowered, overcome challenges, and create a future that aligns with your values.
