Dr. Alexandra Geoca, MD

Dr. Geoca entered medicine with the simple purpose of wanting to help others, gain understanding about the human experience, and both hear and honor others’ stories. She attended George Washington University (GWU) for undergraduate studies, earning a double major in philosophy and biology as well as a minor in performance jazz, and then stayed at GWU for medical school. Currently, Dr. Geoca is a third year psychiatry resident at Saint Elizabeths Hospital.

Along the way, Dr. Geoca has also been involved in multiple research projects and publications, created and lead humanities-focused groups in medical school, attended yoga teacher training, been awarded multiple scholarships for academic excellence, and even published a poem. She was recently elected to serve as one of two resident members on the Washington Psychiatric Society Board, DC’s chapter of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Throughout it all, she has remained committed to her own psychotherapeutic journey and benefitted immensely from this dedication to prioritizing her own mental health.

In her free time Dr. Geoca enjoys playing piano, synth, and bass, as well as drawing and painting. She loves writing, and is working towards publishing both fiction and non-fiction books.
