I have been working in the field of mental health since 2005.
I received my MSW degree from Adelphi University School of Social Work. I have experience working in a variety of settings such as inpatient hospital units, outpatient clinic, private practice and homes of clients in the community,
Prior to 2005, I was employed by a number of different companies and worked in entirely different trades (Mechanical Engineer, CNC operator, First responder in New York , IT consultant for multinational company)
I also have Master degree in Mechanical engineering. I believe that my diverse professional experiences allows me to have an unique perspective into my clients’ aspirations and hardships.
I feel that in my capacity as the therapist, I can help others to realize their potential simply by helping my clients to unleash their powers within. I use a strengths- based approach in therapy.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, family issues, motivation, self esteem, anger issues, confidence and depression.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

A fantastic therapist
I'm incredibly grateful for finding Aleksandr as my therapist. He's a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients. His expertise and tailored approach helped me navigate anxiety and depression effectively. Aleks is compassionate, non-judgmental, knowledge and provided valuable insights and coping strategies. Working with him has been transformative, and I highly recommend him to everyone seeking a skilled and compassionate therapist. Thank you so much Aleks, for your professionalism and unwavering support.
The best ever!changed my life.
Great therapist, very skilled and experienced his field.
Aleks has been a great therapist for me (24 male). he has been able to build a connection with me and dive deep in to my past to bring forward emotions that were tucked away but needed to seethe light of day. He has not shown any sort of judgment but has also been firm while reminding me of boundaries I set for myself. I would 100% recommend Aleks if you need someone to keep you on a straight and narrow path while overcoming emotional hurtles .
I really enjoy Aleksandr's methods and for me personally, it has helped a great deal. He really gets to know you as a person and figures out the best methods to make progress each week. I would highly recommend his services.
Too grateful
