Dr Alexis Mordoh, PsyD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
“Sometimes life presents us with challenges that we have difficulty resolving. It may be because the task at is too difficult, or because our skills are not up to par or, maybe, because the issue we dealing with is overwhelming us emotionally and touching old wounds. My role is to help you define the problem in a way that is solvable and develop the coping skills necessary, so that you may have a happy and productive life, filled with meaningful experiences and connections ”
