Alexis Beckford

Hi, I'm Alexis! 'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia, as well as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and a Certified DBT Provider. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Religion, a Master of Social Work, as well as a Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy all from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) I am currently completing my doctorate in clinical social work, expected December 2026. I have been in practice for several years and have worked in communities, inpatient hospitals, nonprofits, private practices, and residential treatment settings. I'm trained in DBT, trauma-focused therapy, and Attachment-based therapy and work with individuals and families, specializing in anxiety, trauma, attachment, family concerns, and relationship issues. I additionally work with depression, bipolar disorder, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, parenting, and more..

I provide a warm and engaging space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. Sessions with me are collaborative as I believe therapy should be a partnership between therapist and client. Having worked with all ages, races, ethnicities, socioeconomic statuses across various settings, my skillset has continued to grow significantly. I treat many concerns utilizing many different modalities based on the client's needs. I ensure that your care is specific to you and your needs. All are welcome here and I give 100% effort in my sessions to assist you with navigating whatever brings you to therapy.

During the first session, expect this to be similar to an interview. I will ask various questions about your history, background, and any symptoms. I want as much of your story as possible. We will then work to get to know one another and determine if this is a good fit. Goal setting is a big part of how I practice. We will spend ample time collaborating together to develop tangible goals for you to work on in therapy sessions.
