“If there is a healer in this world more skilled than Alexis, I’m yet to meet them. Alexis has the unique ability to approach therapy from a truly holistic level - somatically, spiritually, psychedelically, sexually, and so on. Above all, she keeps it real and she keeps it safe - with grace, compassion, empathy, and always a fresh perspective.
The best decision I’ve ever made was to begin working with Alexis. The second best decision I’ve ever made was to listen when she said I’m worthy of taking up space. She is constantly opening her, and my, heart, soul, and spirit beneath the surface to challenge what I know to be true about myself in inspiring ways. From parent death to ego death, there is not a situation Alexis is not equipped to help navigate.
Alexis is the human embodiment of love. If you are a person with a heart, know that working with her will help it beat a little bigger and a lot brighter.”

“Alexis is a phenomenal therapist and I’m beyond grateful to have been working with her for years. She has been instrumental in my healing, helping me recover from OCD and anxiety. She approaches treatment with deep empathy and compassion and is committed to your healing and wellness. Alexis has really helped me overcome a lot of past traumas, particularly those that come with being LGBT. Alexis has beautifully shepherded me through my therapy journey and I’m immensely grateful for the perspective and leanings I’ve gained from her work. I highly recommend her!! ”

Getting to know Alexis Ely
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.
I'm Alexis, a licensed psychotherapist, intuitive healer, and the founder of Rowan Healing. My practice is designed to hold space for deep transformation. I work with individuals navigating sexual or relational trauma, dysfunction, anxiety, heartbreak, low self-worth, or burnout. Many of my clients are ready to break old cycles, learn to truly love themselves, and build a life that feels aligned and whole.
My approach is integrative, weaving together evidence-based psychotherapy with somatic healing, inner child work, spiritual insight, and nervous system regulation. Sessions offer a space to gently unravel what’s no longer serving you, and root into a version of yourself that feels more empowered, embodied, and authentic.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. You don’t need to have the right words to start. I’ll meet you exactly where you are. Together, we’ll explore and tend to the parts of you that may have been silenced, neglected, or buried beneath survival.
I hold a Master’s in Counseling from NYU and a BA in Communication Design from Parsons, and bring experience in both traditional and holistic healing. Many clients experience meaningful emotional shifts within the first year and return periodically for “tune-ups” when life calls for extra support.
I treat this work as both sacred and practical. It’s for the individual who’s ready to create change. The one tired of the loops and longing for something real.
If you feel drawn to this space, trust that pull. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The healing journey is deeply personal, and while it can be tender and challenging at times, it doesn’t have to feel heavy. In our work together, I aim to create a space that feels both safe and expansive. A space where you can soften, laugh, feel, release, and reconnect to the parts of yourself that have longed to be heard. Transformation doesn’t always look dramatic; often, it arrives quietly, through insight, presence, and the courage to meet yourself fully. Supporting this process is a sacred responsibility, and I approach it with deep respect, curiosity, and care.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As a psychotherapist and intuitive healer, my work honors both the science of the nervous system and the sacredness of the soul. I believe you hold the wisdom you need within you—and that healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself, but remembering who you are beneath the noise, the trauma, and the conditioning.
So often, life teaches us to doubt ourselves. We're told to disconnect from our bodies, override our intuition, and fear our desires. In our work together, we gently begin to unlearn those messages. I’m here to help you return to your truth, to move through fear, shame, and self-doubt, and begin living with curiosity, clarity, and deep self-trust.
As a sex and relationship therapist, I hold space for conversations that are often silenced: around intimacy, pleasure, relational patterns, and desire. My approach is holistic and personalized, blending Eastern and Western modalities to support your unique path. Whether we’re working through trauma, attachment wounds, identity, or transitions, our work will honor the full complexity of who you are.
Above all, I offer a space of warmth, presence, and non-judgment, where you can feel safe to explore, feel, laugh, release, and grow. I bring clinical expertise, intuition, and deep compassion to every session, always with the intention of guiding you back to peace, joy, and wholeness.

Alexis is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I've been seeing her weekly for 2.5 yrs now and have since recommended her to 3 different friends who all LOVE her. She's just cool as hell and makes you feel like you're confiding in a friend--a friend that literally only has your best interest at heart and can't tell anyone what you say. She helped me initiate and get through a break up from a completely codependent 6-year relationship. She's helped me find the version of myself that I lost all those years ago and feel GOOD about it. She's coached me into identifying some of my past patterns so that I can avoid falling back into them, but still gives me permission to do what I need to do. She's done everything from given me travel tips to sex tips to helping me work through my fear of needles, lol. I can't say enough good things about her. Not to mention she's lived a pretty cool life and it's just fun to talk to her. Book her and don't look back. Your future you will thank you.

I recently had the pleasure of seeking treatment at Rowan Healing, under the expert care of Alexis Ely.
From the moment I started working with Alexis Ely she exuded an unparalleled level of empathy and understanding towards my condition. She took the time to listen to my story, making me feel validated and heard.
The integration of energy healing, shamanic medicine, and spiritual counseling truly set Rowan Healing apart. This holistic approach allowed me to explore the root causes of my challenges, leading to profound personal growth and transformation.
Since my visit to Rowan Healing, I have experienced remarkable benefits from the treatment I received. My mental and emotional well-being has significantly improved, and I have gained valuable insights and coping mechanisms to navigate life's challenges. I am grateful to Alexis Ely for her unwavering support and guidance throughout my healing journey.
