More About Alexander Twohy

Clinical Interests:

As a therapist I’m interested in working with adults and children struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, behavioral struggles, life stress, fear, intrusive thoughts, feelings of being directionless, struggles with gender identity and expression, and neurodiversity including Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

I also provide comprehensive evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults ages 6-99. I conduct evaluations for numerous areas of developmental concern, including Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Specific Learning Disorders. I also evaluate for emotional, behavioral, and personality diagnoses including but not limited to anxiety, depression, bipolar, obsessive-compulsive disorders, dissociation, and posttraumatic stress. Finally, my evaluations offer recommendations for treatment and other changes that may be helpful.

Clinical Approach:

As a therapist I believe each person is a unique constellation of experiences, motivations, and behaviors. I construct a unique explanation tailored to each client’s experience to determine likely avenues of intervention on client-determined variables of interest. I also believe strongly in work outside the therapy session as well as data-driven decision making and evidence-based practices. I have experience working with many therapy modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.

As an evaluator I utilize multi-modal, multi-method, and multi-rater assessment batteries to gather a broad spectrum of information. I also utilize evidence-based assessments to ensure diagnoses and recommendations are informed by current research and scientific evidence.

Hobbies:

I enjoy reading, gaming, baking, cooking, hiking, playing music, and spending time with my family.
