Your Journey to Acceptance Starts Here
Our private therapy practice is a place where you can learn to accept yourself and your circumstances without casting judgment. Alan Axelrod walks with his patients while they process shame, trauma, and mental health challenges, helping them to understand themselves and find a path forward.
Discover Your Authentic Self Through Psychotherapy
When you start therapy, the goal isn’t to change into someone else — it’s to find your authentic self so you can accept who you are and learn to show up as that person. Discovering your authentic self, accepting your feelings, and learning to view your flaws in a non-judgmental light takes time and guidance.
Our practice focuses on guiding you on this journey, providing support and accountability as you learn to accept what has happened in your life and how to show up most authentically.
About Alan Axelrod
Alan Axelrod is a licensed clinical social worker with over 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist and 20 years of experience as a trained Zen Buddhist. His training in Zen Buddhism directly informs his approach. While part of this is weaving in practices such as meditation and mindfulness, his approach also includes teaching you to view life events from a different perspective.
Instead of focusing more on your problems, the Zen Buddhist approach allows you to stop the cycle of rumination, overcome your shame, and develop a deep understanding of yourself.
