Alex Collopy Rosenwald, Ph.D., CSW, is a psychotherapist providing play and talk therapies for individuals age 3+, families, and couples. She is currently accepting new clients at Cygnus Counseling & Wellness (child clients age 3+ and individual adults, at 77 South 700 East, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, UT 84102) and Park City Psychotherapy (age 18+, couples and individuals, virtual services only). For inquiries or to schedule at either practice, call Alex at (385) 313-9891.
Applying an understanding of the ways in which our earliest relationships shape experiences across the lifespan, Alex’s approach to adult psychotherapy affords clients deep insight into their current symptoms, empowering individuals to reduce inner and interpersonal conflict, increasing freedom and fulfillment. Informed by contemporary psychoanalytic orientations as well as her doctoral training in ethnographic interviewing, Alex provides adult clients unique opportunities to make sense of their lives within a consistent, trusting, professional relationship.
Alex’s child play therapy practice, blending the psychoanalytic Object Relations approach with Child-Centered and Attachment-Based methods, is designed to promote sustainable change rather than short-term emotional deescalation or behavioral compliance. Recognized as a seminal approach by the Association for Play Therapy, Object Relations play therapy has been used for over a century to treat children experiencing a broad range of psychological, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. Through sandtray, multimodal art-making, dramatic play, and mutual storytelling, children work through experiences that were previously too difficult to verbalize. Alex works closely with parents throughout their child’s treatment to best understand their child and to increase parent- child attunement, strengthening attachment security.
