About Dr. Alexis

Although Dr. Alexis has been a licensed Clinical and School Psychologist for more than a decade, she now has a separate private coaching practice offering her services as a Life Skills Coach. While there are some similarities between coaching and psychotherapy, they are very different activities. A coach partners with the client to help the client meet specific, tangible goals and a licensed psychotherapist treats patients with psychological disorders. Therefore, please be advised that as a Life Skills Coach, Dr. Alexis will not diagnose, treat, or manage mental health disorders. 

As a Life Skills Coach, Dr. Alexis works with clients to help them define goals and strategies for meeting them, and to identify potential obstacles and ways to minimize or eliminate them. Coaching may address specific personal goals or projects, life balance, stress management, and satisfaction or general conditions in the client’s life, including health, relationships, school, business, or profession. Her coaching services commonly include guidance, mentoring, and the collaborative development of individualized skills acquisition specific to the goal of each person. 

While Dr. Alexis does not provide any psychotherapy in her coaching practice, her many years of experience as a psychologist, providing assessments/evaluations, and working with children, adults, and geriatrics in outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health clinics, and private practice brings an informed depth to her coaching practice.
