Alexa Black MHC-LP (Commack Unit D)

My name is Alexa, and I am a Mental Health Counselor (MHC-LP). I graduated with my Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Hofstra University. I have experience working with young children, adolescents, teens, adults, and families, and have worked in both medical offices and school settings.

I have experience working with individuals struggling with Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Adjustment Disorders, Trauma, Life Transitions and many other mental health concerns. I like to utilize different approaches to therapy, because I believe therapy is not “one size fits all.” I believe therapy depends on the client and their needs. I like to use CBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness, as well as a person-centered approach to help clients meet their goals. I work collaboratively with the client in order to help them understand their experiences, develop positive coping skills, and improve their emotional well-being.

My goal is to provide a safe space for individuals to share their thoughts, know their self-worth, and to help them live an overall positive life.
