Getting to know Alexandra Leidig

Therapy can be an act of reclamation: a place to speak your truth. In a society shaped by power, privilege, and oppression, choosing to tell your story can be deeply personal and often transformative. My work is deeply informed by lived experience as a queer person and sex educator. I've worked with young adults, elders, LGBTQ+ folks, neurodiverse, and people navigating injustices and marginalized experiences.

What should a new client know about working with you?

During our time together, I aim to help you explore not just your struggles but also your capacity for growth and resilience, in a space that feels collaborative, honest, and nonjudgmental. Together, we’ll explore what feels most meaningful or challenging for you, while I offer tools and resources to help you navigate moments inside and outside of sessions.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

After scheduling your visit with ZocDoc I will be looking to connect with you via email for a consultation before our first visit. Additionally, while our first visit will be a telehealth appointment, I do offer in person therapy for those interested and I am happy to discuss your preference during our initial appointment. My approach blends my certification in addiction and a trauma-informed lens with practices like ACT, DBT and IFS to support sustainable change at your pace. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working in healthcare and social justice spaces, including addiction recovery, food pantries, and patient care advocacy. I bring that same advocacy into the therapy room. My social work training has given me the tools to help clients build support systems that affirm who they are and where they want to go.
