✨ Hi, I’m 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿, and I’m so excited to be joining the team at New Connections! ✨

I recently earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University, Post, and completed my APA-accredited internship at the Center for Anxiety in NYC.

Throughout my training, I developed a strong foundation in treating anxiety disorders, trauma, relational challenges, and supporting parents and families.

What drew me to New Connections was not only the depth of clinical expertise, but also the truly collaborative and supportive atmosphere. I feel incredibly grateful to be joining a team that values both clinical excellence and compassionate care—and I can’t wait to get started!

Many of us have little rituals we do “just in case”—knocking on wood, avoiding certain numbers, or wearing a lucky charm. These habits often feel harmless, even comforting. But what if not doing them filled you with intense fear or panic?

For people with magical thinking OCD, these actions aren’t just superstitions—they’re compulsions tied to the belief that something terrible will happen if they don’t follow through. The fear is so overwhelming, so persistent, that stopping feels impossible.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your superstitions might be something more, you’re not alone. Our latest blog breaks down the difference and what to look out for.
