About
Alexandra Donatelli, MPAS, PA-C, CAQ-Psychiatry is a board-certified Physician Assistant specializing in outpatient psychiatry, offering thoughtful, individualized care in a warm and private practice setting. She earned her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Saint Francis University and holds certification from the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA), along with advanced certification in psychiatric practice (CAQ-Psychiatry).
Alexandra treats a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and women’s mental health concerns. She takes an integrative, patient-centered approach to medication management, focusing on both symptom relief and long-term stability. Her approach is rooted in the belief that meaningful progress in mental health comes from feeling truly understood. She provides a calm, supportive space where patients can speak openly, feel respected, and collaborate in shaping their treatment plan. Patients often describe her as warm, attentive, and easy to talk to, with a genuine commitment to listening and tailoring care to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, their son, and their Sheepadoodle, Minnie. She has a passion for interior design, gardening, and growing flowers, and can often be found with a good book or relaxing at the beach. She values family, creating a warm and welcoming home, and finding joy in life’s simple moments.
