Alexcis Grushinski, LCSW, LICSW
About me
Hi, I'm Alexcis! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I help people who long to feel stable and content. In working with clients I find that we all want to be physically, and emotionally healthy but hold ourselves back due to past and present difficulties. These barriers, keep us from moving forward and accomplishing our goals.
Living a life of values does not guarantee a stress-free easy life. It can however help get through the tough times by keeping us on track to accomplish our goals. Life is hard and full of stress. I believe that through self-compassion, values, mindfulness, and a desire for something better will lead to a meaningful life. Please message me so that we can get scheduled to start your journey.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Alexcis Grushinski. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Alex has been such a gift. She listens deeply, responds thoughtfully, and gently holds me accountable. She has a wide range of skills we use in session - EMDR, Grief Recovery, and others. I especially appreciate her ability to show me I'm making progress and to teach me to recognize that myself. She's also clear when I may need more specialized resources. As the cherry on top, when we have a light session, we have fun personal conversations like laundry advice!

She’s very, very good. Very caring, and seems to know exactly what my concerns are and how I can better myself.

She is an excellent listener, caring person and expert at her craft.
she’s given me tons of good advice and i never feel uncomfortable being vulnerable even for a person like myself who struggles being vulnerable around others.
