Alexandra Bastien, LMHC

Alexandra Bastien is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with nine years of professional experience supporting adults through a wide range of life challenges. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence concerns, career difficulties, and transitions that accompany major life changes, and she offers support for relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Alexandra also brings focused attention to areas such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, midlife concerns, money and financial stress, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and workplace issues.

Her clinical approach centers on evidence-based practices, most notably Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, which she uses to help clients identify practical tools and build on their existing strengths. She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and aims to foster the confidence and skills needed to move forward. Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Alexandra acknowledges the effort it takes to begin that process while offering steady, strengths-based support along the way.
