“Steve provided me with a different perspective and didn't just agree with me or simply let me talk which was appreciated. I came out of my session with alternate view points on how to address situations differently.”

Getting to know Steve Alexander
At NY Wellness Counseling Services, we understand that emotional struggles do not happen separately from culture, family, identity, and the expectations placed on you. I founded NY Wellness as a Black Caribbean-American and first-generation therapist to create the kind of practice where clients from diverse backgrounds can feel understood without having to explain every part of who they are.
Our team works with many first-generation individuals, professionals, college students, parents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, career uncertainty, and major life transitions. Some of our clients feel caught between family or cultural expectations and the life they want for themselves. Others are accustomed to being dependable, successful, or strong for everyone around them but find themselves privately struggling with self-doubt, overthinking, stress, or feeling disconnected from who they are.
NY Wellness is a diverse group practice, and each clinician brings their own background, personality, specialties, and therapeutic approach. Across our team, we provide compassionate, culturally responsive, and evidence-based care designed around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Our goal is to help you better understand the patterns affecting your life, develop practical ways to move forward, and make changes that feel meaningful to you.
When you schedule with NY Wellness, you may be matched with one of the clinicians on our team based on your needs, preferences, and availability. We will help you identify a therapist who may be a strong fit and support you in taking the next step.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients working with NY Wellness can expect a collaborative, supportive, and culturally responsive approach. During the first session, your clinician will take time to understand what brings you to therapy, what matters most to you, and what you hope to accomplish. Our clinicians bring different backgrounds, specialties, and therapeutic styles, allowing us to connect you with someone who fits your needs.
While each clinician’s approach is unique, our team is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care in a space where you can speak openly and without judgment.
My style is compassionate and down-to-earth, but also structured enough to help you see progress. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and trauma-informed care, but every plan is tailored to your unique needs. As founder of NY Wellness Counseling Services, I also lead a diverse team of professionals, so clients have access to different perspectives and specialties. My goal is to make sure you feel understood, supported, and empowered throughout your journey.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The process begins with matching you with a clinician on our team based on your needs, preferences, and availability. During your initial sessions, your clinician will learn more about your experiences, current concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, you will develop a treatment plan that feels realistic and meaningful.
Our clinicians draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed care, person-centered therapy, and other evidence-based methods. Your clinician will tailor the process to your needs and regularly check in to ensure that therapy remains useful and aligned with your goals.
