More about Alexis

- LCSW
I am an independently licensed social work with over 20 years of experience working with children, teens and families. I've worked with clients that have an array of concerns including depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, relationship issues, parenting challenges, and complex trauma.
My therapeutic style is engaging and inviting. I believe all people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral, Adlerian theory, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, play therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I will customize our sessions and treatments plans to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and walk this journey with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
