Alexia Zadok

Hello, my name is Alexia Zadok, LCSW and as an experienced therapist, I dedicate myself to supporting individuals like you through the intricate journey of life. Whether you're grappling with anxiety that weighs you down, wrestling with the complexities of relationships, navigating through turbulent family conflicts, or stepping into uncharted professional/school territories, I am here for you. In my belief, I hold firm that you possess the strength within you, and it is this very strength that will guide you through the obstacles that lie before you.

My approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you understand and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, giving you practical tools to tackle things like anxiety and stress in your daily life. It's like learning to rewire your brain to think more positively and cope better with life's challenges. Supportive therapy provides a safe and empathetic space to talk about your feelings, challenges, and experiences. It's like having a trusted friend who listens, understands, and offers guidance to help you cope with life's ups and downs. Strength-Based Therapy helps you identify and build upon your personal strengths and positive qualities, emphasizing what you're good at rather than just focusing on problems. It's like a path to self-discovery and growth, where you work with a therapist to harness your strengths to overcome challenges and improve your well-being. Solution-Focused Brief Treatment (SFBT) focuses on helping you find solutions to your problems rather than dwelling on the problems themselves. It's like a "let's fix it" approach where you work with a therapist to set achievable goals and discover the steps to make your life better, often in a shorter amount of time compared to other therapies. Motivational therapy aims to help you find the motivation and confidence to make positive changes in your life, whether it's quitting a bad habit, achieving personal goals, or overcoming obstacles. It's like having a supportive guide who helps you discover your inner drive and create a plan to reach your desired outcomes.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a Latin Jewish woman from Miami, the concept of Tikkun Olam, which advocates for repairing and improving the world, has been my guiding light and the driving force behind my decision to become a psychotherapist. With five years of experience as an oncology social worker, I've witnessed the immense impact of compassion and support on people facing challenging life changes. Now, in my own practice, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and the art of effective communication and self-expression.

My goals for you

Through building trust, I am here to support & empower you in that journey, whether that's with addressing anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, care giver stress, or coping with other life changes.

My first session with you

During the first session, I like to get to know you and meet you where you are. Working together my clients will learn to self-reflect, analyze their thoughts and behaviors, and create change for self-growth. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have the strength that will assist you in overcoming your challenges.
