Alexandra Backis

As your therapist, I will guide you in the process of welcoming all the parts of yourself, even the ones that cause distress. With curiosity and compassion, we will explore how parts that might contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, or disconnection, may also be the parts that have tried to keep you emotionally or physically safe. By engaging with these parts instead of avoiding or judging them, we will work together so that you can liberate yourself from their hold on you. I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Couple (EFCT) therapies to help you better understand yourself and your relationships. As a clinician who identifies as bi-racial, I enjoy working with clients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. Our work together will acknowledge how systems of oppression impact mental health, while also discovering the spaces where you can enact your power and live out your values. I look forward to creating a space together that is collaborative, challenging, and playful!
