Alexandra Urban, LCSW
Leesburg, VA
I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience and specialized training in couples therapy and trauma-informed care. I love helping couples reconnect, find compassion for each other, and feel safe and supported in their relationship. I work with couples facing challenges like high conflict, trauma, infidelity, or high-stress lifestyles. My goal is to make therapy a warm, welcoming space where even the hardest moments can be met with care, understanding, and hope.
