Getting to know Marina Alexander
My name is Marina Alexander, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Los Angeles, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I was born in Ukraine and speak Russian fluently. I work with adults and couples and specialize in anxiety and stress management, alleviating trauma and PTSD, managing life transitions, issues related to aging, and of course - challenges in interpersonal relationships. I am also a Transformational Life coach, trained and certified by the Brave Thinking Institute. I have lived a life that included many challenges and transitions, have resolved them all successfully, and have gained a wealth of personal experience in addition to my excellent education in my field. I am a very quick and inquisitive person by nature and love keeping up on all the new advances in Psychology and healing.
My approach
In my practice I use an eclectic approach based on the needs of each individual client, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, EMDR, Existential and Reality Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, as well as elements from other approaches. My experience includes doing Christian Counseling, working with clients from an Interfaith/Spiritual perspective, New Thought and Louise Hay approaches, and clients from many different cultures.
My focus
I work with adults of all ages, and my style and approach are a particularly good fit for people who may be dealing with the challenges of mid-life transitions and aging: relationship challenges, divorce, dealing with children who are growing up, and (often) parents who need help, traumatizing life events, mid-life crises, work pressures, health problems, substance dependency, and addiction. Life can get overwhelming sometimes and many experience feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, etc. I am here to help provide a listening ear and effective emotional support, in addition to helping you learn helpful

Marina has been a steady, consistent force in my life. She’s been an ear to listen, a rock to lean on, and a source of clarity-emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. All of which I’ve needed so deeply as I’ve walked through the most difficult times in my life. I consider her a mix of guardian angel, spirit guide, and confidant all in one. Bless you Marina, I have a heart full of gratitude for you.
