Alexis Cushman

I'm so glad you've taken the step to reach out for support. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in community mental health, where I have had the opportunity to work with individuals navigating a wide range of challenges and life experiences.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you better understand yourself, work through difficult experiences, and develop tools to create meaningful change.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, and major life transitions. I am EMDR certified and have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I incorporate these approaches when they fit a client's individual needs and goals.

I believe therapy isn't about changing who you are or telling you how you should live your life. Sometimes it's about learning to understand your emotions, quiet the critical voice in your head, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, and discover that you are capable of more than you thought.

My goal is to provide a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment—and feel supported as you move toward the life you want.

You don't have to figure everything out before reaching out. You just have to be willing to take the first step.

"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become."
