Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.
Hi, I'm Dr. Alex Agiliga (she/her), licensed psychologist.
I'm a licensed psychologist and I provide therapy in Maryland, DC, Virginia, and and 40+ states. My work is culturally-responsive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I welcome and affirm people of diverse identities - including people of all races, ethnicities, genders, neurotypes, sexual orientations, ability statuses, nationalities, and other salient identities. In addition to individual therapy, I work with groups and organizations as a consultant.
I have over ten years of education, training, and professional experience. I earned my PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University at Albany, State University of New York. My research focused on racism and anti-racism, gender, and sexual identity. I completed my doctoral internship in health service psychology at the University of Delaware Center for Counseling and Student Development. Over the course of my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including university counseling centers, community mental health centers, inpatient and outpatient treatment centers, and hospitals.
Some of my salient identities include being a Black cisgender woman, second generation of an immigrant family from Trinidad and Nigeria, part of the LGBTQ+ community, and a parent. Outside of therapy, consultation, and research, I enjoy reading and audio books, playing recreational volleyball, spending time with friends and family, dancing to good music, and eating delicious food! I like to check out museums and galleries, and I delight in warm weather - whether on a walk, at the beach, or on a hike.
