Alexis Austin

With over 5 years of experience as a therapist (including my time as an LMSW), I've worked with a wide range of people across all stages of life. So much of the work I do happens at a threshold — that space between where someone has been and where they're trying to go. Maybe you're in the middle of a life transition that's left you feeling lost. Maybe you and your partner keep circling the same argument. Maybe you're a woman who's spent so long caring for everyone else that you've lost track of your own needs. Or maybe your family feels stuck in patterns everyone can feel but no one can quite name. Whether I'm working with an individual, a couple, or a family, my goal is to help clients find their voice, strengthen their relationships, and build a life that feels grounded and intentional. I offer a collaborative, insight-oriented space where clients can explore what's holding them at that threshold and find their way through it.

My approach is client‐centered, warm, and down‐to‐earth. I work hard to make it feel comfortable to talk about life’s struggles. I meet clients where they are, and while I can be direct, it’s always thoughtful, honest, supportive, and informed by what I’m noticing in session.

I’m also very transparent in my process. I like to bring clients into my clinical thinking so you understand why we’re focusing on certain themes or interventions and how they support your goals. My aim is to create a space that feels grounded, collaborative, and clear, where you feel both supported and empowered throughout our work together.

During our first session, you can expect a comfortable balance of conversation and structure. I’ll start by getting to know you and what brought you to therapy. From there, we’ll explore some important background information, things like family history, education, social experiences, and any past trauma you feel comfortable sharing.

I’m very transparent in my approach and like to provide clear structure so you always know what to expect. Our initial session is also a chance for us to get a feel for one another and see whether we’re a good fit for ongoing work together.
