    Dr. Alexander is a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of couples. He has been a couples therapist for the past forty years and is considered by many in the Charlotte region to be the “go to guy” for couples in distress. His unique capacity to join with and tailor his approach to each couple helps him succeed where others have failed. In his private practice, Dr. Alexander currently sees 10 – 20 couples each week for therapy as well as many individual clients with relationship and other mental health issues.
    Dr. Alexander is also an internationally acclaimed educator and public speaker. He holds the distinction of being the first psychologist in North Carolina to become a Full Professor of Family Medicine at the UNC-School of Medicine. He coined the Google search engine word “cinemeducation” (i.e. the use of movie clips to teach psychological and medical topics) and is known both for the high quality of his presentations as well as for their entertainment value. He has been a keynote speaker at multiple professional conferences in England, Switzerland and the United States and recently was an Invited Visiting Professor at New York University.
