My name is Alexander Gilburd, and I've been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2020, as well as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor since 2022. I approach therapy with a diverse style to find the appropriate fit for each individual. I generally focus on helping people challenge their thinking in order to help them live their life to their full potential. I've had extensive years of experience treating Substance Use Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and difficulties associated with living with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as providing couples and families therapy.
My approach
I believe in a multifaceted approach! I am a huge proponent of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as I believe practicing changing how we think is where it all starts. In addition, I love to apply a Solution Focused approach to help empower individuals to discover their own solutions to their problems, as well as learn how to prioritize their personal goals and dreams. Over time, I try to provide a warm, nurturing atmosphere to incorporate elements of a Psycho-dynamic approach, helping clients analyze past relationship patterns and how they persist throughout their life in order to change them for the better. For couples, I utilize techniques associated with Gottman Couples Therapy in order to help couples increase intimacy and improve communication.
My focus
I have worked with a diverse set of populations over the years. I feel comfortable treating individuals that struggle with Substance Use Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Bipolar Disorders, Schizophrenia, difficulties associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders, most types of Trauma, and OCD. In addition, I am capable of helping couples and families improve communication with each other.
My communication style
I try to provide a non-judgmental, nurturing atmosphere to help clients feel comfortable to open up and share their struggles. I utilize a Rogerian approach in how I communicate to help clients feel in control of their own therapy.
My journey to mental healthcare
I wanted to work on mental health as a partial result of overcoming my own struggles. I thrive off of seeing other individuals work through hardships to grow into the best versions of themselves.
My goals for you
I work with clients to help them determine what goals are important to them in order to help motivate them to work on them.
My first session with you
During our session, I conduct an assessment to help both me and the client see if we're a good fit for each other. I provide an open atmosphere to help answer any of the questions clients may have.
