About Dr. Alexandra Geoca, MD
I am a psychiatrist and the founder of Manifold Psychiatry. I completed my undergraduate and medical education at the George Washington University, then went on to complete my psychiatry residency at Saint Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC, where I served as Chief Resident during my final year.
My clinical interests include psychotherapy, trauma, identity and self-development, and complex psychiatric presentations. I am particularly interested in the intersection of psychiatry and general medicine, including how medical and neurologic conditions, medications, and other physiologic factors can affect psychiatric symptoms. I am also interested in how relationships, environments, and larger systems can influence mental health.
Psychotherapy was a particularly important part of my residency training, with significant opportunities to work with patients in therapy and to receive ongoing supervision. My training included psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, existential, and trauma-informed approaches, with additional exposure to psychoanalytic perspectives through supervision.
Why “Manifold”?
To be manifold is to contain many forms, dimensions, and possibilities—to be complex, dynamic, and capable of change. I chose the name because it reflects something fundamental about how I understand people: each of us contains a complexity that cannot be fully captured from any single perspective.
The visual identity of Manifold Psychiatry draws inspiration from the Pale Blue Dot, the photograph of Earth taken by Voyager 1 from nearly four billion miles away, displayed on the right. From that distance, our planet appears as little more than a point of light within an immense expanse.
This perspective is powerful reminder for me. From one vantage point, a human life can seem impossibly small; from another, it contains an entire world of experiences, relationships, memories, meanings, and possibilities. Manifold Psychiatry grew from that same sense of perspective: a recognition that there is always more to a person than can be seen from where we happen to be standing.
