Clinically, Alex has specialized training in evidence-based treatments including exposure and response prevention (ERP), cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBTp), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

He hopes to use this work to develop precision psychosocial interventions for youth at CHR.
