Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Charlotte, NC

Hello! My name is Mrs. Alexis Barnes-Scott and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I attended East Carolina University and have been practicing Marriage and Family Therapy for over 12 years. I specialize in relational concerns, trauma, women's issues, stress and anxiety management. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my 15 year old pup, Bella. I'm hopeful to be of assistance to you on your therapy journey.

I provide support and guidance so that my clients do not have to bear their struggles alone. We work collaboratively to understand what is not working and why. We examine past patterns of experience to help us understand current feelings and behaviors. We can create lasting change and transformation by addressing the underlying issues. I emphasize individual empowerment which allows the client to own their own victories. Empowerment creates a ripple effect which can transcend every aspect of ones life not just in one specific area.

I'm a licensed social worker who truly loves helping people navigate life's challenges. My journey into therapy was deeply personal—after moving to North Carolina away from family, I realized I wanted to create a practice that allows me to be fully present both for my clients and for my seven-year-old daughter. This balance has given me a unique perspective on the real-world struggles parents and caregivers face. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety and adolescents going through difficult transitions. I also have experience as a TTL visitation specialist, supporting families through custody battles, which has deepened my understanding of family dynamics during stressful times. I'm here to help you through trauma, anxiety, or whatever life is throwing your way.

I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience walking alongside youth, adults, and families through the many chapters of life. My passion is to see every person connected to my work step into the fullest version of who God created them to be. I firmly believe in the power of His Word to remind us of our purpose, His plans, and the truth of how deeply we are loved.

It is my heart’s desire that each individual I serve experiences healing from the inside out. Restoring of peace, renewing of hope, and empowering them to shine their light everywhere they go.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 11 years of healthcare experience. Before specializing in psychiatry, I worked in the Burn ICU and outpatient procedural settings, where I learned the importance of caring for the whole person during some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my nursing degree from UNC Chapel Hill and my Master of Science in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and especially enjoy helping people navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes—like school, relationships, career stress, or grief—that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
