About Alexandra
Dr. Alexandra Duffy is a clinical psychologist who combines practical strategies with thoughtful listening. She draws on 15 years of experience to help people facing depression, anxiety, attention challenges, and body image concerns. Her approach is collaborative and warm, and she works with clients to set clear goals and manageable steps.
She uses a mix of methods including cognitive approaches, mindfulness, dialectical behavior ideas, psychodynamic thinking, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sessions focus on what’s getting in the way day to day - sleep, routines, concentration, or intense emotions - and on building skills that make life easier.
Dr. Duffy also supports people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, relational and intimacy-related issues, and career or parenting stress. She has experience assisting those with ADHD, learning differences, and challenges that affect academic or work performance, including documentation for accommodations when appropriate.
Her background includes a Doctor of Clinical Psychology (Psy.D) from George Washington University and a Postdoctoral Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard’s Bureau of Study Counsel and has worked in inpatient settings, university counseling centers, and private practice.
In sessions she blends practical lifestyle changes with therapy work - addressing sleep, exercise, eating patterns, and media use alongside emotional skills. She also offers guidance for performers and creatives on managing stress, rejection, and performance anxiety.
