Getting to know Jemaal Alexander

Jemaal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of New York, currently practicing via telehealth within New York State only. He earned his B.A. in Psychology from the City University of New York, City College of New York, followed by a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University. Since then, he has gained years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Many people struggle with mental health concerns but hesitate to seek help due to stigma, fear, or uncertainty about how to access services. Let's be real-another significant barrier to starting therapy is finding the right therapist, someone they feel comfortable opening up to. This challenge often leaves many feeling discouraged and unsatisfied as they search for a good fit. As a psychotherapist, Jemaal's immediate goal is to create a welcoming therapeutic environment where each client feels fully seen, heard, and empowered to do the work. Therapy is gradually gaining popularity and acceptance-a beautiful sight indeed-and it's becoming clear that the therapeutic community must better meet the needs of the changing and diverse populations now seeking support. Throughout his years of practice, Jemaal has observed a lack of sufficient diversity among clinicians. As a Canadian-born immigrant to West Indian parents, he takes pride in helping make therapy accessible and appealing to communities that seldom prioritize their mental health. Jemaal is passionate about helping clients achieve their goals and welcomes all who are ready to embark on their journey toward mental wellness. Jemaal's personal journey of mental wellness is holistic, grounded in constant mindfulness-based practices and structured self-care habits designed to heal and provide the necessary recharge.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I want everyone who works with me to know that I provide a comfortable space for therapy: You should feel free to roam through uncomfortable emotions, explore trauma, gain a deeper psychoeducation, and process daily stressors in a way that feels both human and sincere. I guide you through this process and use an individualized treatment plan made just for you. Together, we will walk toward your goal of complete mental wellness.
