Dr. Alexandra ("Alix") Price is a clinical psychologist who has more than 18 years of experience assessing and treating various mental health diagnoses across inpatient and outpatient treatment settings. She believes in holistic recovery and is particularly passionate about using education and connection within the therapy relationship to help clients identify areas of meaning, purpose, and resilience. Dr. Price works with adults who are struggling with symptoms related to mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, trauma and complex PTSD, perinatal mental health, grief, life transition problems, women's issues, stress management and adjustment difficulties, and much more.

Dr. Price completed her Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) at Florida Institute of Technology. She currently practices by telehealth in Virginia where she has been licensed as a clinical psychologist since 2007; she also became licensed in Florida in 2023. She has been credentialed with the National Board of Health Service Psychologists since 2007, and in 2014 became a diplomate of the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) when she earned board certification in clinical psychology. Most recently, in 2025, she earned a certificate of completion in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders from Postpartum Support International.

While her approach to mental health treatment is largely integrative, Dr. Price relies on intervention skills from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based, solution-focused models. She recognizes the important combination of open communication and goal setting as key within therapeutic relationships.

Dr. Price recognizes the value of having a safe place to talk, balanced with encouragement, support, and challenge to make change. If you are looking for that place, reach out and make an appointment. Dr. Price would love to make a connection and help facilitate a journey of change that's right for you.
