Alexandra Emery, Ph.D.
she/her/hers
I am a licensed psychologist with generalist training in a wide variety of presenting concerns. In private practice, I specialize in helping young adults and adults with stress management, personal growth, emotional pain, negative self talk, and overcoming perfectionism. If clinical terminology is more your jam, I also work with anxiety, depression, burnout, self-esteem, and identity issues.
I believe the best work in therapy is achieved through a strong and meaningful therapeutic relationship. In our time together, I will prioritize building a relationship that will best serve your unique needs.
Born and raised in Olympia, Washington, I’ve returned to my roots for private practice. You’ll see by my education and training below that I took about a 10 year detour in the Midwest.
