Dr. Alexander received her Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, Georgia.  She went on to complete her graduate training and earned her doctoral degree from the APA-accredited clinical psychology program at the former Georgia School of Professional Psychology (Argosy University Atlanta).  Dr. Alexander received unique and varied clinical experiences as an intern with the Houston Independent School District (HISD), where she received specialized training in crisis assessment and management, psychotherapy, school consultation, and comprehensive assessment.  Dr. Alexander completed her postdoctoral fellowship training through Emory University School of Medicine, where she specialized in pediatric psychology.

​As a psychologist, Dr. Alexander's focus is in working with children, adolescents, and families throughout the lifespan.  Her therapeutic interests include working with children and families who are experiencing a difficult time with adjustment/coping, and she enjoys working with a variety of clinical concerns including anxiety, depression, acute/chronic medical illness, pain management, grief/loss, parenting, and disruptive behaviors.  Dr. Alexander also has extensive training in conducting comprehensive assessment for concerns including (but not limited to) learning disabilities and ADHD. 

Dr. Alexander's therapeutic approach with most clients is to integrate, where possible, evidenced based techniques that best fit the clients' needs, symptom presentation, and temperament.  Her approach to comprehensive assessment emphasizes assessing multiple domains of functioning in order to make the most appropriate educational, social, emotional, and behavioral recommendations.
