Infant & Early Childhood Therapist Supporting Children, Parents, and Early Relationships
Therapy for Young Children, Parents, and Adults
I'm Alexandra Flanders, a licensed clinical social worker in Monmouth County, New Jersey. I specialize in infant and early childhood mental health (birth–5), working with young children and the people who care for them. I also provide parent consultation and individual psychotherapy for adults.
Why People Come to Therapy
The way we respond in the present is often shaped by experiences we haven’t fully made sense of.
Many people come to therapy because something feels hard to understand or manage—repeated patterns in relationships, emotional reactions that feel difficult to regulate, or a sense that early experiences are still shaping how they relate to themselves and others.

Parent support & consultation
-
Parent consultation is a collaborative space to slow things down, make sense of what your child may be communicating, and think together about how to support both your child’s needs and your own. This work is not about doing things “right,” but about increasing understanding, flexibility, and confidence in the caregiving relationship.
About Alexandra
I help people make sense of themselves and the patterns that show up in their relationships. My work is shaped by training in infant and early childhood mental health, and by a deep respect for how early experience continues to influence us across the lifespan.
