- Meet Alexandra Askenazi Marcus
I am bilingual, Latinx, LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and I am licensed in New York and Florida (https://flhealthsource.gov/telehealth/). My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I believe that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to support and guide you as you navigate your therapeutic journey, drawing on your own insights and experiences. Together, we will work towards cultivating a meaningful life that aligns with your authentic self, allowing you to experience profound personal growth and fulfillment. - Therapeutic Expertise
I work with individuals and couples navigating the complexities of relationships, whether in monogamous or polyamorous partnerships. I also specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ clients exploring their gender or sexual identity, addressing unique challenges, or seeking a knowledgeable queer therapist. Additionally, I help those who have experienced trauma or are undergoing significant life transitions, such as coping with loss or adjusting to major life changes. - About Working with Alexandra

I provide individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and couples therapy. I adapt our approach to fit your unique goals and needs, using various therapeutic methods based on what works best for you. Whether you’re addressing trauma, navigating life changes, or seeking personal insight, I’m here to support you every step of the way! - Why I Became a Therapist
I’m passionate about therapy because I have personally experienced its transformative power.
