“I couldn’t have gotten through this year as well as I did had I not had the support and expertise of Lexy. She is very down to earth, validating, with a lot to contribute in our sessions. Whether that was sitting with me while I just unpacked or encouraging me to dig deeper when there was more to understand. It was important for me to have an objective listener tell me that my idea of a path forward appeared as good judgement to her. Sometimes it’s hard to know if what you’re feeling is rational and how you want to treat it is worth it, hearing her tell me “that makes sense, that’s a great idea” was empowering. Thank you for everything Lexy! ”

“Lexi is an absolutely phenomenal therapist. From our first session, I felt heard and also felt connected with her. Lexi puts in a great amount of effort to connect with you as an individual and manages to blend in humor with her therapeutic approach. In many sessions where I felt overwhelmed by what I was working through, Lexi was able to affirm the work I was doing while also bringing a smile to myface. I loved how even during hard sessions, I felt Lexi cheering for me and encouraging me to recognize my growth. She also helped me work through a diagnosis I've long suspected, helping it to not seem so overwhelming and encouraging me through each phase of the diagnostic process. To date, she truly is the best therapist I have worked with, and I cannot recommend her enough. She is kind, patience, incredibly empathetic, and anyone is lucky to be able to work alongside her. ”

Getting to know Alexis Zimmerman
I know first-hand what it feels like to be lost, unsettled, and desperate for a change. From a young age, I struggled with anxiety, depression, and a deep sense of dread. Like many individuals, I was initially very apprehensive about starting my own therapy journey. I found that finding the right therapist that I connected with was an essential part of the healing process.
Prior to being a therapist, I worked in sales and advertising. These jobs ultimately pushed me to a breaking point and I became determined to break the cycle of emotional spiraling. Hitting rock bottom allowed me to confront the trauma I had buried, and focus on cultivating inner peace. My self-healing journey has led me to develop healthy coping mechanisms, connect with my inner child, and learn more about herself, navigate life changes (including going back to school and changing careers!), and even find a therapist i love. I am grateful to support clients as they navigate their own therapeutic journeys.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My therapeutic style is holistic, humanistic, curious, direct, and warm. I lead with empathy and focus on creating a person-centered environment where real, raw conversations can occur. I aim to create a space that feels safe, comfortable, empowering, and grounding.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach is integrative—blending evidence-based theories, DBT, and traditional talk therapy, as well as Eastern philosophy, spirituality, existentialism, and feminist theory. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is essential for creating change and values feedback and collaboration in sessions.
