About me

Hey!
My name is Alexis and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the states of Florida and New York. I have also held a certification as a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider. I have experience working with individuals throughout the lifespan. I am most passionate about working with women of color, specifically black women, but of course I am happy to offer support to any individual in need.

My goal as a therapist is to find solutions that work for you on an individual basis, helping you to discover the true potential of your life, so everyday can be a celebration, and feel like a real ‘breath of fresh air.’ There may be no magic button or quick-fix solution when it comes to changing things from the past that have been difficult, but what we can do is work together to find comfort and resolve in the difficult areas of your life, and the challenges you have to face. Through various techniques and long-standing approaches with proven results, we’ll be able to figure out what behaviors and/or thoughts might be holding you back from living your best life, and finding meaning in everyday situations.

My specialty areas include: anxiety, adjustment related stress, relational stress, parenting issues, and trauma. I tend to utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-based modalities, along with other theoretical orientations to guide treatment. I am easy going, excited, motivated, and truly passionate about my role as "helper".

I’m a mother, wife, sister, and so much more. I enjoy traveling, shopping, and interior design. I love to watch reruns of the Office and murder mysteries. I love connecting with my clients and I look forward to speaking with you and working together!

PLEASE NOTE: I AM AVAILABLE TUESDAY AND FRIDAY MORNINGS ONLY AT THIS TIME FOR LIVE CHAT SESSIONS.

I’ve been working with Alexis for about 6 months and I really enjoy our chats and sessions. She definitely helps me see the big picture in things especially when I get frustrated. Constantly reminds me to take time for myself !

While our relationship is new, I am looking forward to continuing to grow our trust and rapport, and growing together. She is a breathe of fresh air.

After six months with her I had tremendous improvements in my mental health that I would not have seen otherwise. We were able to talk through so many of my concerns which helped me thoroughly understand the areas I needed to improve. I’m thankful for this experience and I’m so grateful for her support throughout the process.

She is a great counselor. She listens to you and responds timely and does not make you feel like what you are feeling is obsolete.
