You always knew you wanted to be a parent. It was easy to imagine the experiences you'd have with your kids- dinners discussing your day, cheering them on from the soccer field, holidays building memories... What you didn't plan for was the weight of your responsibilities. It's so hard to be present and tuned in when your mind is racing from one to-do list to the next. When you're so exhausted that you want to just lay on the couch. When the demands placed upon you feel insurmountable. All you want is to respond with patience, but you are irritated, stressed, and have no idea how to begin getting your life back to balanced.

Maybe you overthink everything, your mind often spiraling in worst case scenarios. Feeling overwhelmed, your stomach sinks just thinking about your todo list. Some days, you can get So Much done, but on others, you crash and can't get off the couch. Creatives and neurodivergents are some of my favorite to work with, from teens to adults, who never feel good enough. It can be hard to trust yourself and make decisions when you fear the past repeating. Many of us struggle with Knowing vs Doing. Together, we can bridge that gap, create space to Actually recharge, while learning balance to feel healthy connection to others and your life.

My name is Alexander Warnow and I'm the founder of XY Counseling. At XY we work primarily with adults, teens, and couples helping them to live more fulfilling, connected lives. Often what brings someone to seek therapy is a chronic issue that has reached a crisis point: anger, depression, anxiety, self-worth, intimacy problems, communication issues and many more. Sometimes it is a recent change in one's life: infidelity, a move, or the end of a relationship. Taking the risk to ask for help is the first step on the road towards healing and growth. Our therapists include Jacob Donnelly, Stacey Klein and Walker Witte.

Feeling overwhelmed? Corporate culture and your perfectionist inner critic can wear you down. As a former tech worker turned therapist,I get it. Everyone sees you as super successful, but you feel like you're barely keeping up, constantly falling short of your own high standards. The endless to-do list keeps you up at night, leaving you exhausted by your own anxious thoughts. Yet you fear these traits are why you've been successful. It feels like you must choose between success and self-compassion.

Welcome. I work with children, adolescents, and adults coping with relational, attachment, and anxiety disorders. In my practice, therapy often entails exploring the impact of early attachment experiences on our views of self and our ability to form close, meaningful relationships throughout life. In our work together, you will be treated with warmth, empathy, and openness. The most important part of our work is the development of a trusting relationship. This relationship creates a thoughtful, safe space to explore your strengths, challenges, and goals. My approach to clinical work is largely relational and psychodynamic.

I earned my B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. at UCLA. After completing my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at UCLA (one of the most highly rated Clinical Psychology programs in the nation), I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Harbor UCLA Medical Center focusing on Child and Adolescent clinical populations. I have been working with children, adolescents, and their families for more than twenty-five years. I have clinical familiarity with the treatment of a general clinical population as well as more specialized populations like ADHD, ASD, Anxiety, and Depression.

I believe that individual power and potential is boundless, and yet I deeply understand how vulnerable we are to life's pain. The complex emotions involved in loss, family/marital conflict and unpredictable change often require us to find fresh perspective, rebuild internal resources and enhance our self-compassion. I am an active, emotionally engaged therapist with a broad and comprehensive knowledge base that is a touchstone for understanding your individual needs.

I love what I do! I have the pleasure of working with clients from five to 105-years-old! Having the opportunity to work with an expansive age range has taught me that at any age: we want to be loved and we want to love, we want to belong, we want to have purpose, we want to experience joy, and we don't want pain. My goal as a therapist, is to help my clients find ways to reduce, restructure, and remove obstacles that cause pain; while building on our individual resources to promote health, happiness and well-being.

Couples seek therapy for many reasons and at different stages of their lives, even when they are not experiencing overt difficulties. Some seek psychotherapy to become more intimate and open-hearted, communicate less defensively, mediate conflicts before they escalate or to prepare for the next phase in their journey together. Some come entrenched by long-standing difficulties that have subsumed their lives. Others come with doubts about their future, seeking clarity about their path, or needing help to navigate life's inevitable challenges. Most come seeking a greater sense of hope and possibility for their lives together.

I provide therapy for adults based on proven methods that explore the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. This helps you gain awareness, skills, and motivation to let go of unhelpful beliefs, build emotional strength, and focus on what truly matters to you. I specialize in guiding individuals through major changes in relationships, careers, and education. I welcome anyone seeking support for non-traditional identities and lifestyles, as some of the folks I see self-identify as multiracial, gender fluid, LGBTQIA+, kinky, or polyamorous/non-monogamous.
