I have maintained a private psychiatric practice in North Seattle since 2006. I graduated from the University of Washington Medical School in 1980, and then spent 20 years as a board certified family practice doctor. In 2002 I changed careers, and began a second residency (specialty training) in psychiatry at the University of Washington. I opened my North Seattle private practice in 2006.
In my spare time, I enjoy walking, swimming, spending time with my family, and reading. I offer consultation and ongoing treatment for adults, ages 21-60, in the following areas:. I am NOT equipped to treat the following problems, some of which require a team approach:. Fitness-for-Duty or Return-to-Work evaluations (unless the person has already been in treatment with me).
If you are seeking help for a condition that is not listed above, please leave me a voicemail with detailed information, and my assistant or I will get back to you. Then we mutually determine whether further treatment is needed, and if so, whether treatment will involve medication, psychotherapy, or both.

The general area where you live and work.
I encourage people who live and work south of the Lake Washington Ship Canal to seek a psychiatrist closer to downtown Seattle, where there are many psychiatrists.
I am near Northgate, and traffic makes getting to appointments difficult.

Dr. Alexander is in the Meridian North Office Building, 10740 Meridian Avenue N., Suite 101.
The second building on the left is the Meridian North building.
Because of traffic safety issues, it is best to pass the Meridian North Building, and turn left into the large parking lot just south of the Meridian North Building.
Then circle the Meridian North Building, and park in the Meridian North parking lot.
Alternate route: Dr. Alexander is several blocks North of North Seattle Community College.
There are ways to get to North Seattle Community College that avoid the Northgate traffic.
