Alexandra Parker
LCSW
Hi, there! I’m Alexandra Parker, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with Bloom Psychology Group.
As a former competitive upper-level gymnast and coach, I know firsthand what it feels like when your performance, perfectionism, or identity starts to burn you out. Navigating injury, high expectations, and a life after a demanding sport taught me the powerful link between mental health, physical wellness, and self-compassion. I understand the value of combining mental health support with physical wellness, healthy routines, and a growth mindset.
Today, I use those hard-won insights to help children, teens, young adults, and high-achievers break unhelpful patterns and build practical skills to move towards more meaningful lives.
My clients describe me as an engaged, warm, and active partner in their care. I love providing a space in which my clients feel heard and comfortable. Whether we're tackling anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or big life transitions, my goal is to listen and give you practical, evidence-based tools to move forward. I am always encouraging my clients to continue making progress, even if it seems like the smallest baby steps.
If you’re ready to do the work, I’m ready to support you.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of clinical experience, I look at the whole picture, not just a diagnosis. LCSWs are uniquely trained to understand how your environment, relationships, physical health, and personal history interact. This holistic and systems-based lens means our work goes beyond theory to focus on real-world, practical support that fits your life.
I integrate highly effective therapies, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution–Focused Therapy. Specifically, I have advanced training in DBT and Trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), which allows me to help children and teens manage daily stress, understand and regulate emotions, grow from the past, and offer themselves grace in the process. I have lots of experience working with families, including leading parenting groups and groups for children, and working with parents to help implement what we learn in therapy, so therapy actually makes a difference in your child's life.
I am also licensed in North Carolina, California, Georgia, and New Mexico, so that I can help clients wherever they are.
Being a gymnast for so many years seemed to be my only identity. After multiple injuries and ultimately deciding to end my gymnastics career, I had a hard time finding myself outside of my sport. Through my own struggles, I also witnessed family and friends struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, and eating disorders. Because I did not have mental health support while I was an athlete, I have the drive to help other athletes, children, teens, and young adults. I knew I wanted to help others navigate similar struggles to not feel alone.
Now, I specialize in supporting high-achieving individuals with reframing their inner critic, unhelpful thinking patterns, and cognitive flexibility, as well as teaching them new mental and emotional skills along the way.
This work matters deeply to me, and I’m grateful for every person who trusts me with their story.
Anna Turnbull
Client & Admin Coordinator
I'm Anna Turnbull, Client & Admin Coordinator with Bloom Psychology Group. I manage the behind-the-scenes operations that keep the practice running smoothly, from scheduling and client communications to day-to-day coordination, allowing your providers to focus fully on their clients.
My background spans EdTech, nonprofit program management, and K/12 teaching. I spent years building systems and communication processes that help organizations run more consistently and effectively. I bring that same care and attention to detail to Bloom, with a strong focus on protecting client confidentiality and making sure every interaction with the practice feels organized, responsive, and personal.
Outside of work, I'm a mother of two living in Central New York. I understand firsthand how much easier life feels when the people supporting you are organized, attentive, and trustworthy, and that's exactly what I aim to bring to the practice.
