My name is Dr. Alexandra Zim, and I am a postdoctoral fellow based in Boca Raton, Florida. I know how important it is to find a therapist you can trust, connect with, and who can create a safe space for growth. From a young age, I was drawn to having meaningful conversations and listening deeply to the stories of others. Growing up, I was often the person friends and family turned to for support and understanding. Naturally, becoming a therapist has allowed me to continue holding space for others in a thoughtful and purposeful way.

​

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology from Florida Atlantic University and went on to receive my Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) from Nova Southeastern University. Completing my doctoral training at the esteemed Faulk Center in Boca Raton, readied my specialization in teens and adults as they navigate concerns such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders. I also work with people experiencing  trichotillomania (hair pulling) and self-esteem issues, as well as interpersonal/relational challenges. In addition to providing therapy, I have training and experience conducting psychological and psychoeducational evaluations (IQ, ADHD and Dyslexia testing) to better understand an individual's unique strengths, challenges, and overall complexity.

​

My therapeutic approach is process-based and person-centered, with an emphasis on meeting clients exactly where they are. I integrate evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to create a supportive, tailored space that fits your unique needs and goals.
