Getting to know Alexandra Kariyannis
Alexandra is a licensed psychotherapist based in New York City who holds a graduate degree from New York University. She works with adults and couples, helping clients navigate life’s ups and downs with empathy, honesty, and a touch of humor when it fits.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Alexandra views therapy as a space where you can show up exactly as you are, no pressure, no judgment. Her approach is collaborative and flexible, meaning you'll work together to figure out what actually helps you. Alexandra draws from different therapeutic methods depending on your needs, whether that’s building coping skills, processing past experiences, or making sense of patterns in your life. Above all, she aims to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, so the first session is designed to be a comfortable, low-pressure space. We’ll focus on what feels most important for you to share, and you’re always in control of how much you disclose. I’ll ask some questions to understand your background and goals, and we’ll begin to explore how I can best support you. There’s no expectation to have everything figured out, this is simply the beginning of the process.

Alexandra not only gave me the opportunity to self reflect on the parts of my life i Was ignoring, she was so adaptive and caring to my struggles and needs. She was extremely attentive in every single session, and helped me drive real results in my personal life as well as my professional one! Her pricing was fair, and definitely reflected the value of her services. I would recommend her to anyone seeking therapy over and over again! No notes! :)

I naturally connected with Alexandra. I appreciate that if an issue arises outside of session time… she’s there to support me.

Alexandra was incredible with my teenager;
My daughter struggled with severe anxiety and Alexandra made my her feel heard and understood in a way I simply could not. What more could a parent want? Not only that, but she gave my daughter the tools to better understand her feelings and ultimately self regulate while expressing those feelings. The transformation is evident and it appears in all facets of her life from improvement in performance at school, her friendships are more fulfilling and the tensions between she and i and her father have dissipated. We love Alexandra and are so grateful for her!

After my visit with Alexandra, I knew for sure that I found the right therapist for me. She made me feel secure and comfortable, and I felt that I was in a positive space where I can discuss anything that I pleased without fear of judgement. Alexandra is empathetic, trustworthy, and an excellent listener. Her authenticity was extremely apparent, which is exactly what I look for in a therapist. She is also available and flexible with her schedule and was prepared to put herself in my situation as the client when I discussed pressing issues in my life. Throughout my journey looking for therapy, I truly have never found someone like Alexandra who made me feel important and allowed me to be vulnerable.

I've been seeing Alexandra for awhile now and I'm so happy to have found her. She has helped me a lot with my anxiety and depression. I have never felt as comfortable as I do with Alexandra with other therapists I've had before. Alexandra's calming energy creates a very safe and comfortable space for me to be honest and open with her. I look forward to our conversations every week!
