Getting to know Alexis Austin
*After booking, you will receive a link via IntakeQ so you can complete required intake forms prior to your appointment.*
With a Master's in Social Work from Fordham University and a Bachelor's from City University of New York, Lehman College, I bring experience across a range of specialized settings, including Westchester Medical Center, Hawthorne Cedar Knolls, and the Women's Resource Center. I offer a deeply empathetic, hands-on approach to therapy, working with individuals and couples facing relationship conflicts, fertility concerns, pregnancy-related mental health, and personal trauma, including sexual assault and domestic violence. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or an eating disorder, my background allows me to provide tailored, evidence-based strategies to help you find relief and work toward long-term fulfillment.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When we work together, expect a space centered on your needs and pace. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and genuine listening. I’ll meet you where you are, with no pressure to be anything other than yourself. Therapy with me is a partnership focused on identifying your goals and uncovering what’s standing in the way of your well-being. I use CBT to help reframe negative thought patterns and DBT to strengthen coping skills and emotion regulation, empowering you to handle life’s challenges with greater resilience. My commitment is to provide the encouragement and strategies you need to move forward.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our sessions, I’ll focus on practical steps to make tangible progress. We may start by identifying immediate concerns and then gradually work towards deeper goals, building coping tools and increasing self-awareness along the way. For clients facing complex issues like trauma or intimate relationship challenges, I prioritize safety, compassion, and empowerment so you feel supported as we explore your experiences. This isn’t just about addressing symptoms; it’s about building a life that reflects who you are and where you want to go. You don’t have to face these challenges alone—together, we can create a path to healing and growth.
