Owner & Visionary

Alexandria Mezyad

Alexandria Mezyad is the owner and visionary behind Venya Therapeutics, a mental health therapist with almost a decade of experience working with adults, teens, and couples. She earned her Bachelor's in Psychology from Penn State University in 2014 and her Master's in Transpersonal Psychology with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University.

Alexandria's specialties focus on sexual trauma, OCD, Complex PTSD, grief, relationship struggles, forensic populations, spirituality, and helping people and families navigate personality disorders.

She has extensive experience with the criminal justice system and high-impact restorative-justice dialogues, giving victims a voice and helping offenders take accountability. That work fuels her commitment to community safety and resilience, and gives her a rare understanding of how early, compassionate support can change a life.

Alexandria's style is warm yet direct. She blends EMDR, attachment-based therapy, trauma-informed care, and existential, mindfulness-based, and Jungian approaches with creative practices like storytelling, art, nature, and reflective work, and she draws on her background in documentary filmmaking and writing to help people tell and transform their own stories. She is passionate about creating an inclusive, affirming space for LGBTQ, BIPOC, and people from all walks of life.

Venya Therapeutics is the next chapter of that vision: the experience she's spent a decade building, offered to the public through a new approach and a growing team, so that more people, and a wider community, can find meaningful, lasting change.
