Alexis Decosimo, a licensed clinical mental health counselor, art therapist, and advocate, brings a wealth of experience in empowering clients. With a DrPH and LCMHC credentials, she specializes in trauma-informed practices and individualizes her approach based on the unique needs of her clients. Alexis is well-trained in various methodologies, including EMDR, and has extensive experience working with diverse populations ranging from at-risk adolescents and families to trauma survivors and active-duty military members. Her global experiences across cultures—including East, South, and West Africa, India, Eastern Europe, and Appalachia—have enriched her practice, allowing her to be a supportive ally to all. As an art therapist, she recognizes that artistic expression can transcend the limitations of language, facilitating deeper self-discovery. While she incorporates artistic modalities such as sand tray, pottery, and painting into her sessions, she respects that not everyone may feel comfortable with art, ensuring a non-judgmental space for clients. Alexis offers a warm and safe environment, inviting potential clients to engage in a consultation to discuss their needs and explore the possibility of a therapeutic alliance.
