Alex Honigman, LCSW
Fairfax, VA | Bethesda, MD
I help couples create space to heal, grow, and reconnect when life’s challenges or communication struggles get in the way. I specialize in guiding partners toward a deeper, more vulnerable understanding of themselves and each other while refining the skills needed to rebuild intimacy and connection. My approach is active and hands-on, acknowledging that meaningful change can feel uncomfortable but is often the pivot point for growth. My hope is to help couples rediscover excitement and passion in their relationship while learning to navigate challenges together.
