ALEXIS BELL (she/her/hers)

I incorporate DBT techniques to help individuals better understand and manage their emotions, navigate stress, and improve relationships. DBT focuses on building practical skills such as emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and effective communication. Through this approach, we work together to increase self-awareness, strengthen coping strategies, and support meaningful, lasting change in everyday life.

I approach therapy with cultural sensitivity, recognizing that culture plays a meaningful role in shaping identity, relationships, values, and life experiences. You deserve a therapist who not only understands your cultural background but is also open and committed to learning how your culture influences the dynamics, stressors, and strengths present in your life. My goal is to create a space where your experiences are respected, understood, and thoughtfully integrated into our work together.

I also use this approach hand in hand with CBT.

I take a holistic approach to therapy, recognizing that emotional well-being is connected to the mind, body, and overall life experience. I believe that focusing on only one part of you is not enough to create lasting change or maintain skills long term. Instead, we explore how thoughts, emotions, physical well-being, relationships, and environment all interact, allowing us to work toward a more balanced, sustainable, and fulfilling life.

Women’s issues can encompass a wide range of experiences, but one thing remains true—there is comfort in being understood by another woman. The challenges of womanhood can be complex, both in circumstance and emotion, and I am here to support you as you navigate them with understanding, care, and compassion.

I support individuals in strengthening their self-esteem because I believe the way you experience life is deeply connected to how you view your self-worth. By working together to build self-esteem, we can increase confidence, develop healthy boundaries, help you find and use your voice, and create a stronger sense of self overall.

support individuals navigating relationship challenges, whether that involves healing from a past relationship that was difficult to let go of or traumatic, or gaining clarity in a current relationship that may no longer feel aligned. Together, we work to identify your values, thoughts, and beliefs beyond immediate emotions, with the goal of fostering healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
