Hi! I'm Alexis, a licensed professional counselor in Maryland and Virginia. I have 12 years of experience working with individuals with a variety of concerns. I believe our mental & wellbeing begins with meeting our most basic needs- such as food, water, shelter- and understanding our emotional needs- such as a sense of security, belonging, & self worth. As your therapist, I will assist you to define your wants & needs based on your values, learn more about yourself, & ways to accomplish your goals by living intentionally. I use an integrative approach including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment Based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused and Person- Centered therapies.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session you can expect to: 1. Complete an initial intake form. 2. Provide information about yourself and ask questions of me. 3. Discuss goals for ongoing treatment.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Through a mind, body and soul approach, my clients find solace through self-exploration, defining their values, and aligning their actions towards their values. With this foundation, those who commit to the journey of intentional living experience healing, growth and life transformation.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client may struggle to keep up with life’s lows without experiencing little to none of life’s highs. While we all experience life differently, our mental health and wellness plays an important part to overcoming barriers and living a life worthwhile. I suggest when a person learns more about themselves and what they truly want and need out of life, it enhances their overall wellness and their ability to navigate and thrive in life. As your therapist, I will assist you to define your wants & needs based on your values, learn more about yourself, & ways to accomplish your goals by living intentionally.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I help my clients accept their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while pursuing their values and living a meaningful life.
Attachment-based
I help my clients address early attachment relationships between individuals and their caregivers and develop secure and health attachment in their adult relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help my clients identify and challenge negative thinking patterns and behaviors to improve their emotional state and responses to stressful situations.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I teach my clients skills to manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and tolerate distress.
Trauma Informed Care
I consider my clients past trauma to provide appropriate mental health services.
