Alex Schraier Grinstein
Mi camino para convertirme en terapeuta comenzó en Argentina, donde obtuve mi título en Psicología en la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) y completé mi formación en psicoanálisis, un enfoque que sigue siendo central en mi trabajo terapéutico. Más tarde, cursé una maestría en la Universidad de Barcelona (UB) y, cuando mi camino me llevó a Nueva York, obtuve otra maestría en la Universidad de Nueva York (NYU). Mientras estuve en Nueva York, también completé una formación de posgrado en terapia familiar y de adolescentes en la NYU, así como formación en psicoanálisis y en una amplia gama de temas de salud mental.
Early in my career in Argentina, I gained experience in a variety of clinical settings, including a hospital adolescent unit, a leading addiction treatment clinic, a center specializing in adult, couple, and family therapy, and private practice. These experiences provided a strong clinical foundation for working with people facing a wide range of emotional challenges.
Then, living in New York City for more than 20 years gave me the opportunity to work with people from around the world, representing many different cultures, backgrounds, and life experiences. During that time, I worked with adolescents, families, and adults from a wide range of cultural, professional, and personal backgrounds.
Throughout my career, I have supported clients navigating relationship difficulties, life transitions, parenting challenges, trauma, complex family dynamics, eating disorders, addictions, questions related to gender and professional identity, as well as anxiety and depression.
Today, I dedicate myself exclusively to private practice, working primarily with adolescents and adults from international backgrounds living in Barcelona and throughout Spain, as well as with people from Spain.
After nearly 30 years of clinical experience, my work continues to be grounded in psychoanalytic thinking and expressed through a psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy, while remaining collaborative, thoughtful, and responsive to each person’s unique experiences, needs, and goals.
I am continually humbled by the trust my patients place in me and grateful for the opportunity to grow alongside them, both professionally and personally.
