Getting to know Alexis McGough
Hi there, I'm Lexi! As a therapist, I’m passionate about helping people find their voice to feel truly seen and heard, and I strive to tailor my approach to your individual needs. I believe therapy can be more than just talking; it’s also about gaining a deeper understanding of your mental health, how daily stressors and our upbringing may influence your well-being and how to move forward, while also building practical coping skills.
It's not always easy to ask for help, so I am honored to be considered on your personal growth journey and hope that you feel willing to reach out and discuss next steps. I am currently operating virtually through Headway and Grow Therapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I aim to bring my authentic self into our work, balancing warmth with professionalism. You can expect a space free of judgment, a felt sense of safety where you can be yourself, where we build on your strengths, gently challenge unhelpful patterns, and respect when you need time and space. I know that change isn’t easy, but with the right support, it’s possible.
I strive to tailor my approach to your individual needs, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and attachment-focused techniques, we’ll work together to discover what resonates most with you. I often incorporate mindfulness and embodiment practices to help you feel more grounded and in control.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our sessions might involve humor, honest conversation, and going at a pace that feels right to you. I aim to bring my authentic self into our work, balancing warmth with professionalism. You can expect a space free of judgment, where we build on your strengths, gently challenge unhelpful patterns, and respect when you need time and space.
The first few sessions with me are all about gaining more insight about you and your life so that I may have a comprehensive picture of what it is you are having difficulty with and to help you identify your strengths and what resources are available. It also helps me to gauge my clients' readiness for change and to help set the tone and pacing of our time together. I typically conduct 55 minute sessions once a week, but we can discuss a treatment schedule that fits your lifestyle!
