WHO THIS IS FOR

You're functioning. Maybe even thriving by every external measure. But underneath it, something feels off — a low hum of anxiety that never fully quiets, emotional patterns you can't seem to break, or stress that follows you everywhere you go.

Individual therapy at Intentional Living Psychotherapy is for people who are ready to understand those patterns, not just survive them. Whether you're navigating anxiety, processing past trauma, experiencing grief or loss, or just trying to navigate life — this is a space where that work gets to happen with structure, compassion, and real life practical strategies.

WHAT WE WORK ON

Every client brings something different. Common focus areas include:

  • Anxiety, worry, and stress management

  • Trauma processing and emotional healing

  • Perfectionism, ADHD, and high-performance pressure

  • Emotional regulation and nervous system support

  • Life transitions, identity, and self-worth

  • Relationship patterns rooted in attachment history

An integrative, evidence-based approach

Sessions draw from multiple modalities depending on what you need — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

  • ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) — helps you accept difficult thoughts and emotions while staying focused on what actually matters to you

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) — identifies and challenges the thinking patterns keeping you stuck

  • DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) — builds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships

  • Attachment-Based Therapy — explores how early relationships shape current patterns and builds toward secure connection

  • Trauma-Informed Care — every session considers your full history with care, not judgment

  • I really appreciated how Alexis provided a trusted space for me to think about my goals for therapy and what is currently impacting me. I really enjoyed our conversation, and I cannot wait to see how I can implement different strategies to improve my personal and professional experiences.

  • Alexis is amazing! Only after one session, I feel so hopeful for my therapy journey with her! :)

  • The 1st session was pretty good. I like the way Ms. Alexis approached her questions and made me feel comfortable to answer. I didn’t feel any pressure. The session flowed. I am looking forward to really diving into my self-awareness as time moves forward.
