Alex Afram, PhD

Life in DC is demanding. I have helped numerous people who are struggling to manage the professional responsibilities of highly competitive jobs while also trying to navigate challenges in their romantic lives. The people I most commonly work with are bright, motivated professionals who are experiencing significant anxiety trying to meet the expectations of others and may be finding it difficult to carve out emotionally rewarding relationships and experiences. Many people who reach out are also struggling with symptoms of depression and inability to fully find meaning in their lives. If this sounds familiar, I can help you identify and challenge unconscious negative beliefs that may be creating anxiety and interfering with your ability to take active steps towards meaningful goals. The people I work with report feeling greater clarity and confidence, and an improved ability to lead a life consistent with their values.

My practice is located within easy walking distance from the Farragut West, Farragut North and McPherson Square metro stations. I practice individual, couples and group psychotherapy, as well as EMDR for people seeking relief from traumatic experiences. My website contains additional information about my approach to a variety of issues. I provide a free 15-minute phone consultation that can be booked directly through my website.
