Getting to know Alexis Golden

Alexis Golden, LCSW, helps adolescents, teens, and adults across Illinois navigate life's challenges with compassion, clinical expertise, and a deep respect for each person's unique story. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy for individuals seeking support with anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, as well as a wide range of additional mental health concerns. Alexis creates a therapeutic environment that is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in helping clients build practical skills while fostering lasting emotional growth. Alexis is especially passionate about supporting individuals who have recently been discharged from a psychiatric hospital and are transitioning back into daily life. She understands that this period can feel overwhelming and uncertain, and she works closely with clients to strengthen coping strategies, rebuild confidence, establish stability, and continue progress toward recovery. Her approach emphasizes creating a safe space where clients can process their experiences, develop resilience, and move forward with a greater sense of hope and empowerment. Her clinical work often focuses on anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns, while also addressing additional emotional, behavioral, and life-transition challenges. Alexis utilizes evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She tailors treatment to each individual's goals and needs, helping clients develop healthier thought patterns, strengthen emotional regulation skills, and create meaningful change. She also has experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals involved in adoption or foster care, and others seeking inclusive, affirming care. Alexis believes that healing happens through connection, self-discovery, and learning to respond to life's challenges with greater flexibility and self-compassion.
