I am a warm and empathic licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Yeshiva University and over 10 years of training and experience in and around New York City, including internship and fellowship at Zucker Hillside Hospital. I work with adults both younger and older in individual psychotherapy. Whether you are facing challenges coping with life transitions and major stressors, or struggling with low mood, depression, anxiety, overwhelm, relationship conflict, feelings of shame, guilt, confusion, or difficulty finding personal meaning, I can help you. I’ve worked with clients who are struggling with conflict in their families, at work, or in their social circles, as well as those navigating grief and loss, perinatal and reproductive issues, and adjustment to challenging life stages such as early adulthood, retirement, and parenthood. I want you to know that no matter the struggle, pain, or challenge you are facing, you do not need to walk this path alone.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming — whether it’s anxiety, ADHD, school stress, or simply navigating life's ups and downs. Maybe you're feeling stuck in relationships, school, or work and your goal is to feel more balanced, confident, and capable of handling daily challenges while building long-term resilience and growth. Regardless of what you're facing, I'm here to help. I’m Dr. Alex Luna, a Columbia and Cornell trained psychiatrist specializing in the care of adults, children, and adolescents.
My aim is to create a warm, judgement free, safe space for you to understand yourself better. I see therapy as a journey between two people. At times the journey can feel daunting, overwhelming, and challenging, and I am here to help make the burden a little easier to bear. I work with individuals of all backgrounds and of various ages, coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship struggles, work stress, stage of life transitions, and more. I have been on my own therapy journey too, so I understand what it is like to be on the "other side" of the room. I aim to use my own experience in therapy to bring empathy and compassion to your therapy journey.
Beginning therapy is a wonderful challenge and opportunity, one that I am committed to partnering in. My work often focuses on helping clients enact change, manage symptoms, cultivate meaning and live authentically. Additionally, my therapeutic stance is open, empathic and collaborative, creating a non-judgmental space to connect in the valued areas of your life. I am committed to considering the multifaceted aspects of your identity, in understanding your lived experience and moving towards your goals.
I am passionate about helping clients cultivate greater balance, vitality, and overall well-being in their lives. I have experience working with individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, disordered eating, substance use disorders, and insomnia. I earned my degree from Hunter College in New York City, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, client-centered care.
I’m a clinical social worker with many years of experience working with people of all ages in a variety of settings. I hold particular expertise supporting those impacted by trauma, navigating significant life transitions, experiencing grief or loss, and those struggling with mood disorders.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Yonkers
Finding OCD therapists in Yonkers starts with looking for the right training, not just the right location. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, checking, contamination fears, harm-related obsessions, or relationship-related obsessions. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists have training in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that name OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy as part of their listed experience.
Yonkers offers local therapy options, while nearby areas and virtual appointments can expand your search if you want more choice. Some people prefer an in-person office near home, work, transit, or other parts of Westchester County; others prefer the schedule flexibility of virtual sessions. When reviewing therapists, pay close attention to whether they specifically mention ERP training or describe structured OCD care. That can be more useful than a profile that lists OCD only as one of many familiar concerns. You can also compare appointment availability, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.
Therapy in Yonkers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to find an OCD therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and offers care in a format that works for you.
