Connect with Alexandra Friedman

You're thoughtful, self-aware, and a little tired of being so hard on yourself. Something brought you here — anxiety, depression, a loss, a shift, or just a quiet feeling that you deserve more than this. You're right. Most of us grow up collecting stories about ourselves that were never really ours to begin with. Those stories feel like facts. They're not. My favorite part of this work is watching that shift — from self-criticism to a more accurate, compassionate lens. Often faster than you'd expect.
I help people who are harder on themselves than they'd ever be on anyone else. Real change starts with trust, rapport, and a pace that works for you. Using CBT, IFS, and neuropsychology, we'll untangle old patterns, lovingly hold space for your feelings, and build a life that feels like you.
Please contact me with questions or for a free consultation via phone, email or video chat. I would love to be a part of your journey. Thank you very much for visiting my page!
