Alexander Camargo

Alex Camargo is a licensed psychologist (PsyD) based in New York, NY, with a practice located at 425 East 86th Street. He works with clients who may be feeling overwhelmed, sad, anxious, caught up in confusing relationship patterns, or simply stuck — offering a warm, depth-oriented approach that balances insight with practical skill-building.

His therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic, Third Wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and existential perspectives. This allows him to address both immediate concerns and deeper, longer-standing patterns. He works collaboratively with clients to explore unhelpful patterns, intense or confusing emotions, and thoughts or needs that may have felt unsafe or difficult to acknowledge, promoting both greater self-awareness and concrete skills for use outside of sessions.

One of very few practitioners serving as lead therapist on both psilocybin AND LSD FDA clinical trials simultaneously, Dr. Camargo brings a rare depth to psychedelic-assisted work. His psychoanalytic and attachment-based framework gives this work genuine depth rather than protocol-only treatment. He also trains other clinicians through Fluence while maintaining active clinical trial involvement and a private practice.

Dr. Camargo sees individuals, couples, and families, and is available both in-person and via secure teletherapy. He specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, attachment and relational issues, life transitions, spiritual crises, and psychedelic harm reduction and integration. Clients describe leaving therapy with a stronger sense of self-trust, emotional balance, and resilience.
