Welcome! I’m Alex Lapinski, a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion and authenticity. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and the lasting effects of growing up with emotionally immature, mentally ill, or personality-disordered parents. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, gain clarity, and develop meaningful ways to move forward.

With a background in social work before becoming a psychologist, I bring a deep appreciation for diversity, intersectionality, and the impact of power and privilege in therapy. I also have extensive experience working with transgender and gender non-conforming clients, and I’m passionate about providing affirming care to individuals of all identities.

In addition to my work with clients, I offer therapy for fellow therapists—because healers need healing too. I understand the unique challenges that come with being in the helping profession, and I strive to create a space where clinicians can explore their own emotional needs, professional stressors, and personal growth.

Therapy has been a transformative experience in my own life, and I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they embark on their own journeys of healing and self-discovery. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for your lived experience, I’d love to connect with you.
