Lexi Cleverly
As human beings we all have difficulties. Ideally therapy is an outlet in which we can find understanding and acceptance, as we each walk through the path of difficulties life has in store for us.
I have almost a decade of experience working in the eating disorder field and am passionate about helping those who have a complicated relationship with food and body image.
My goal as a therapist is to cultivate a non judgmental space, rooted in compassion, where my client's are able to approach their treatment goals at their own pace. I have almost a decade of experience working in the eating disorder field and am passionate about helping those who have a complicated relationship with food and body image.
First session
Sessions with me are laid-back in tone but purposeful in direction. I’m not overly clinical or rigid, but I am thoughtful and goal-oriented. We’ll build clarity around what you want to work on and start identifying practical steps forward, without it feeling overwhelming. I’m relaxed, but I’m also intentional — we’ll move at your pace while still making sure we’re working toward real change.

Ideal clients
My specialties include working with clients who may be struggling with low self esteem, negative thinking patterns, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and body image issues. I use a compassionate cognitive behavioral approach, as well as a narrative therapeutic approach.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use a CBT approach, which means we look at how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Sometimes the way we think about situations can intensify distress or keep us stuck. In therapy, we identify patterns that aren’t serving you and practice new, more balanced ways of thinking and responding.
Compassion Focused
I use a compassion-focused approach, which means I help clients develop a kinder, more understanding relationship with themselves. Many of us struggle with harsh self-criticism or shame. In therapy, we work on building self-compassion so you can respond to your struggles with care instead of judgment.
Narrative
I use a narrative therapy approach, which means I see you as separate from your problems. Instead of asking ‘What’s wrong with you?’ we explore the stories you’ve been carrying about yourself and your life. Together, we look at how those stories developed, whether they’re helping or limiting you, and how you might want to rewrite them in ways that feel more empowering and aligned with who you are.
