Alexandra Lee, Psy.D.

You know your child best and your parenting instincts should be trusted by your providers. I believe the caregiver-child relationship serves as a key component of improving a child's functioning, and I approach psychotherapy and psychological testing with heavy involvement of the caregiver. I am here to walk alongside your family in making meaning of your child's behavior. My promise is we will work together as a team to understand your child better and to promote healing. I specialize in Infant Mental Health (which includes ages 0-5) and I am passionate about trauma-informed psychotherapy to help restore a child's cognitive, behavioral, and social functioning through the caregiver-child relationship. Early intervention is key and you seeking support for your child is a vital first step for your child's development. I am equally as passionate about the Neurodiversity Movement and specifically understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder through a neurodiverse lens, meaning autism is simply a difference of the way the brain works, NOT something that needs to be healed. I provide psychological assessment to diagnose autism and I work with you to understand what autism means for your child and your family. My approach to testing is beyond the report and ensuring understanding of results. Growing up in low income, I am very aware of the challenges to receiving great care, especially in mental health. I never want your ability to pay to interfere, so I currently offer "scholarship slots" to meet the needs in our community. Please contact me for more information. This is dependent on availability.
