Alexis Spencer

My clients describe me as:

Welcoming, curious, explorative, and emotionally available. I take a "come as you are" approach and will meet you with an open mind and heart.

Something to know about my approach is:

I utilize compassion-focused psychotherapy and EMDR to help you better understand yourself and patterns, befriend your nervous system and access the networks in your brain that are naturally oriented toward stress reduction and healing.

Together, we will:

Bring emotional health and wellness into your life by bringing mindfulness to your emotions, uncovering limiting thoughts patterns, beliefs and behaviors, and increasing your sense of self and connection in relationships.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are exhausted, stuck and seeking relief; experiencing increased loneliness, stress and anxiety while struggling to find compassion and acceptance of themselves. Those who desire exploration of past traumas and their present impact and influence.

I became a therapist because:

Having experienced the profound, transformative effects of therapy myself, I am moved to offer a nurturing, safe environment for others to connect.

More about me and my practice:

My approach to therapy, is person-centered and relationship driven, rooted in a belief that we heal in and through relationship to one another and all are worthy and capable of connection, growth and healing. Trained in LGBTQ+ related issues & HAES.
