The Team

I am a supervisor, group leader and cyber trauma consultant here at Lionheart. 

My approach is practical and aimed at fostering learning. I believe in connecting people with their resources to help maximize results and create sustainable change. My problem-solving practice empowers people to make the choices that are important to them, and utilize tools to then watch their life unfold positively.

With Lionheart, I focus on the community aspect of the practice! I help design and host mental health events and groups. I bring my therapuetic style into how I hold space during each event.

My approach to therapy is integrative and person-centered. I believe that everyone has unique strengths and abilities that can be used to unlock their most sought after answers. I use techniques from various therapeutic interventions (DBT, EFT, and CBT) but I tailor these to the unique strengths of each of my clients. I want you to feel confident in you.

Mental health has always fascinated me. My journey to becoming a therapist is anything but straightforward.  I am a naturally curious person. Once I completed my masters I dove into research and gained experience with psychotherapy and psychiatry. I viscerally remember the first time I realized how powerful understanding the mind could be in helping people heal. It was like a spark went

off inside me—I wanted to dig deeper, to see how much more there was to learn, and how I could use that knowledge to make a difference.

Travel has been another huge part of my journey, both personally and professionally. Living in places like Singapore, Tokyo, and New York City expanded my world in ways I never expected. Each culture taught me something new about human resilience, family dynamics, and the universal need for connection. These experiences not only broadened my view of the world but also helped me develop a multicultural approach to therapy—one that honors each person’s

unique background and experience.

I co-authored research on diverse populations, ensuring that cultural competence would always be a cornerstone of my practice. Being part of professional organizations like the American Psychological Association (APA) and the American Counseling Association (ACA) keeps me connected to the latest in mental health care, and I’m always looking for new ways to provide the best, evidence-based therapy to my clients.

One of the most transformative parts of my career has been working with survivors of trauma.

Whether it’s domestic violence, human trafficking, or sexual assault, I’ve seen firsthand the strength and courage it takes to rebuild after such experiences. As the Manager of Residential Programs for a shelter in NYC, I had the privilege of leading teams dedicated to providing holistic, culturally sensitive support to survivors.

Ready to change your life? What's stopping you? I'm Alexis,here to help you identify your obstacles and remove them. With almost a decade of experience across all populations, I use Gestalt, family systems, CBT and psychosomatic interventions to support your growth and frustrate your defenses. My ideal client is YOU. You- shopping around for the right person to change your game, shift your consciousness, and level you up, I understand that therapy means we have a conversation and I don't tell you what to do. I also am here to reflect you, and that may mean illuminating your blind spots- I promise to do more than just agree with you.

I work from a family systems, relational and Gestalt informed modality, with elements of CBT/DBT. I was trained at Teacher's College, Columbia University, as well as 4 years of post-grad at the Gestalt Center in New York City. Dr. Robert Carter trained me in race relations, the creator of the term "microaggression." Essentially, I offer you a Real Life.

As a clinician, for better or worse, I am direct, authentic, imperfect, yet sincere- and I promote that in my clients- Truth, not codependency. I offer a free consultation, so you have absolutely nothing to lose. You're taking a noteworthy step by even just reading this listing, right? The hardest part is over; You are Ready, and let's celebrate that.
