- LCSW
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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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
