My practice focuses on working with individuals who struggle with ADHD, Depression, Bipolar, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder, Trauma, Relationship/Familial issues. I truly believe that treatment should be client-lead as each client has their own unique, individual needs that will support their growth and progress. I strive to build a strong foundation, based on trust and safety with my clients, as I believe it is instrumental in their therapeutic success.

As a woman of color, my clients have appreciated the cultural humility I bring my to my work to disrupt therapy solely based on Western models. I incorporate perspectives from the clients' cultural and spiritual beliefs. Supporting people through life transitions has been a focus with many clients ranging from college, marriage, divorce, child rearing to career changes. On a personal note, I am a 1.5 generation immigrant who came to this country as a young child, with both personal and professional experience with areas of familial conflict and healing. I will start with where you are and focus on the goals you seek in therapy.

I find it a privilege to journey with clients as they find a path toward a more fulfilling life. As a clinical psychologist, I use my background to treat you as a whole person, not a disorder. You may come to me with a clear idea of what your issues are or instead with a vague sense that life "doesn't feel right." Life problems may be contributing to sadness, self-doubt, or self-defeating behaviors. Together, we will agree on goals and ways to achieve them. By creating a safe space and trusting relationship, growth and healing are possible.

I'm a licensed therapist passionate about helping women rediscover who they are beyond the roles of “mom” and “partner.” I specialize in working with women whose children are older or becoming more independent—those standing at the edge of a new chapter, wondering what's next. Through a collaborative and supportive approach, I help my clients reconnect with their identity, explore long-held dreams, and rebuild a sense of self that feels authentic, empowered, and whole. This season of life is not an ending—it's an exciting and powerful beginning.

Clients who need skills and planning to regulate emotional distress, relationship challenges, and/or manage symptoms pertaining to depression, anxiety, ADHD, insomnia, and various life stressors will find me effective. I work very well with individuals experiencing stressors pertaining to faith and religion. I have experience working with world-class athletes and artists who are seeking cognitive and behavioral strategies to improve their performance. I understand how chronic health conditions can take a toll on one's mental health, as well as the ways one's mental health can deter management of physical health conditions.

I am most versed in treatment of depression, anxiety, OCD/related, trauma, substance use (alcohol, marijuana, other behavioral i.e., food, sex, etc.), couples, and men’s issues; LGBTQ+ ally. Regards, Alex Amico LCSW

Life can be, and is, full of moments when you feel distant from yourself, unsure of what you need, or simply overwhelmed by the weight of it all. Whether you are navigating life transitions, anxiety, grief, self-worth, or a sense of disconnection, something inside you knows there is more to life than just getting by.
That quiet knowing deserves space.

Are you anxious or depressed? Is anxiety or depression interfering with your life? Anxiety and depression can be paralyzing and may prevent you from living the kind of life that you seek. Typical coping strategies may provide limited but not lasting relief. I can help you to identify, modify, eliminate or manage the behaviors and beliefs that fuel anxiety and mood disorders. By learning a new set of skills, you can pursue the life you desire free from the burdens that have held you back.

I support teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues, life transitions, family conflict, burnout, and concerns tied to identity, communication, or self-esteem. Many juggle demanding lives and shifting roles including students, professionals, caregivers, or individuals managing complex personal and family dynamics. They often seek tools to manage stress, build emotional insight, and improve relationships. More than anything, they want to feel grounded, seen, and reconnected with who they are.
