Dr. Alexandra Christina Lee

Licensed Psychologist

Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling more grounded, understood, and clear about what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we work to uncover patterns and explore how past experiences shape the present, so you can respond in new, healthier ways. You can expect to gain insight into yourself and your relationships, a deeper sense of connection, and tools to help you navigate challenges with more confidence. My goal is that each session feels meaningful—that you walk away not only with greater understanding but also with a stronger sense of self and hope for change.

From an early age, I was drawn to understanding people’s inner lives and the ways relationships and experiences shape who we are. While studying literature at Princeton, I became fascinated by how stories influence identity and meaning, which deepened my curiosity about the human experience. That curiosity led me to pursue a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at The Wright Institute in Berkeley, where I trained extensively in psychodynamic and attachment theory. My path has included work in community clinics, schools, and hospitals, where I supported children, families, couples, and adults navigating challenges ranging from anxiety to relationship struggles. Along the way, I saw how powerful it can be to feel deeply understood and to make sense of patterns that once felt overwhelming. I became a therapist because I believe change happens through relationships—by being heard, seen, and supported in a safe space. What continues to inspire me is watching clients move from feeling stuck or weighed down by old patterns to discovering greater clarity, connection, and freedom in their lives.

Working with me means you’ll have a safe, supportive space where you can bring your whole self—without judgment. I take time to really listen and understand, and I believe that feeling deeply seen is the first step toward change. My style is collaborative and curious: we’ll work together to uncover patterns, make sense of emotions, and connect past experiences to your present challenges. Many clients say they appreciate that we’re able to get to the heart of the matter quickly, which helps each session feel meaningful. I’ll meet you with warmth, honesty, and care, while also gently challenging you when it can open new insight or growth.
