Getting to know Alexis Riggs
I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel truly heard, understood, and supported. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, with a focus on helping individuals identify their strengths, overcome challenges, and build the skills needed to reach their goals.
Throughout my career, I have worked in counseling, vocational rehabilitation, and disability services, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, relationship concerns, career challenges, and disability-related experiences. These diverse experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the unique circumstances and strengths each person brings to therapy.
I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. I draw from evidence-based practices while tailoring treatment to meet each client's individual needs, preferences, and goals. Whether you're seeking support through a difficult season of life or working toward personal growth, I view therapy as a partnership and am committed to helping you build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique goals and experiences. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, disability-related concerns, or personal growth, we'll work together to identify practical strategies and meaningful insights that support lasting change.
I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. I value authenticity, empathy, and trust, and I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and equipped with tools you can use both in and outside of our sessions.
I view therapy as a partnership, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they build resilience, gain perspective, and move toward the life they want to create.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process begins with getting to know you, your experiences, and what brought you to therapy. During our initial sessions, we'll explore your concerns, identify your goals, and discuss what you hope to gain from the therapeutic process.
From there, I take a collaborative and client-centered approach, tailoring treatment to your unique needs, strengths, and values. I utilize evidence-based interventions while creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we'll work to build insight, develop practical coping strategies, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful progress toward your goals.
Throughout our work, I regularly check in to ensure our approach continues to meet your needs and supports the growth and change you're seeking. I view therapy as a partnership and strive to empower clients with tools and skills they can apply in their everyday lives.
