Aleksandra Zukoff
MA, LMHC
I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you understand your past, set healthy boundaries, and build a fulfilling life.
Approach
I specialize in supporting clients from multicultural backgrounds who are navigating challenges such as identity confusion, bicultural guilt, intergenerational communication struggles, and pressure from family or career demands. When your sense of direction feels pulled between different worlds, it’s natural for feelings of anxiety, depression, or loneliness to surface.
My approach moves beyond a conversation through the use of body-focused (somatic) techniques, experiential and creative interventions. This integrated work strengthens the connection between your body & mind, to develop lasting resilience. Our collaborative therapeutic process will encourage curiosity, awareness, and an improved sense of self worth.
Background
As a first-generation American, I bring a unique perspective to multicultural identities and the challenges of integrating different worlds. I specialize in supporting my clients through life transitions, anxieties, depression, and trauma.
Early in my career I gained experience working with populations in psychiatric inpatient programs, outpatient programs and school counseling centers, allowing me to gain insight into the needs of individuals across diverse backgrounds. Later, my work providing therapy for a Personalized Recovery Oriented Service program deepened my understanding of the unique challenges faced by those integrating back into society.
