Alex S Buckner, Psy.D.

I pursued my undergraduate education at Tulane University in New Orleans, shortly after Hurricane Katrina struck. This experience in New Orleans was invaluable in helping me see the suffering in many parts of the U.S and all over the world. This suffering, along with my desire to help people find their way out of suffering, inspired me to become a psychologist. Following my undergraduate studies, I worked for two years at Four Winds Hospital and NewYork Presbyterian Hospital in Westchester County, NY.

 

After gaining experience in the field, I completed my doctoral studies at Yeshiva University’s Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, where I received my doctorate degree in clinical psychology. During my time at Yeshiva, I gained extensive experience in individual, couples, and family therapy, as well as psychological testing and assessment. I have worked with individuals at NYU’s counseling center, multiple community mental health clinics, and inpatient state and private hospitals. For the past five years, I have maintained a private practice in New York City.

I am extremely passionate about my work and devoted to others, and seek to empower people to live their best lives. I pride myself on my empathy and therapeutic skills, and would look forward to helping you improve your life in every way I can.
