Alex Antonucci

Hi, I'm Alex Antonucci, the Owner and CEO of Waxwing Wellness. I've been practicing in mental health for over a decade and have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of couples and individuals, and dozens of families. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Gottman Therapist (CGT), and Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS). My mission is to help others live a fully engaged life by knowing themselves deeply and tending to their most important relationships. I live in Pittsburgh with my lovely wife and two incredible kids. When I’m not in the therapy room, I spend my time gardening, rock climbing, tending to the chickens, exploring cosmology, birding, and running ultramarathons. My journey into therapy started after a personal crisis. I was a recreational bodybuilder, but an injury ended my career. It was a tough time—I lost purpose, community, and fell into a depression. With the help of close friends, I began to understand my experience through the exploration of human psychology and relationships. I wanted to make contact with a sense of purpose and belonging that could not be so easily stripped away. I completed a graduate degree from Naropa University, where I studied under leading mindfulness and meditation teachers. In my practice, I help clients understand themselves deeply within their own life context, emotions, and relationships. I believe people think, feel, and act for valid reasons. Once we understand those reasons, we have choice in our lives and the possibility of peace. I do my clinical work with both virtually and in person, in regular and intensive formats. I also facilitate Gottman Method Art and Science of Love workshops for couples. As an Approved Clinical Supervisor, I find great pleasure in teaching and supporting other mental health clinicians. This allows me to have a greater and longer-lasting impact in this world, which matters to me. I’ve provided supervision, consultation, and education to thousands of clinicians, supporting them in their own personal and professional development. If you're ready to embark on a journey towards wellness, I'd love to help you get there. Welcome to Waxwing Wellness, where you take flight!
