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.

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.

I have had a couple sessions with Alexis and I can honestly say that she has been the best therapist I’ve had by far!!!!!! She listens to me and even when I’m at a loss for words she keeps going. I love that. She’s made me comfortable with speaking to her and I know she genuinely cares. She goes the extra mile to help and I’m so thankful for that. Wishing that she was the first therapist I had.

Alexis is great and helps me understand why my mind thinks what it thinks. She uses the therapy I have already had and shows me other ways to use it. CBT is something I have heard about, but never really understood and she makes it so simple for me.

I've only had one session with Alexis, but it was fantastic! I felt understood and heard immediately, she has a way of making me feel like she's truly listening and caring for what I have to say. I loved how she explained her approach and background - she gained my trust very quickly. Her counseling was very helpful and concrete, and I'm looking forward to working more with her.

Alexis helped me overcome a lot of the major complications in my life and helped me see that I am in control of my emotions and feelings. She helped with relationships and helped me organize my thoughts. She would always respond and support me when I felt weak and helpless, and made me see why I am feeling that way and how to solve it. I fell liken I'm in the right path now, in the right mindset to solve my daily problems myself and not feel overwhelmed. I will recommend her to anyone dealing with family issues, feelings if helplessness, leading to depression and anxiety. Thank you Alexis.

Alexis has been phenomenal. This was my first real therapy experience and I’ve found it to be very productive. Alexis has helped me to feel grounded and more in control. She’s been supportive and knowledgeable about my problems and how to best guide me through them. She’s really made the past few months significantly easier. I’ve actually been sleeping through the night for the first time in like 3 years. It’s been great and all thanks to the help and support of Alexis.
