Dr. Alexis Roncevich

Dr. Alexis Roncevich

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • San Marcos, CA


I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California and Washington and provide outpatient psychotherapy services in-person and via telehealth. I have been licensed for approximately 1.5 years, and have 7 years of supervised clinical experience across rehabilitation clinics, community mental health, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I trained under licensed psychologists before becoming licensed myself.

I work with first responders, active-duty military personnel, and veterans. These professions often involve repeated exposure to stress, uncertainty, trauma, and significant personal sacrifice, which can affect well-being, relationships, and life outside of work. My goal is to help clients navigate these challenges while also building lives that feel meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with what matters most to them.

My clinical training and professional experience include working with veterans within the Veterans Health Administration and providing trauma-focused treatment for first responders in intensive outpatient settings. Through this work, I have gained an appreciation for the unique demands associated with careers that require individuals to perform under pressure, respond to critical incidents, and regularly place the needs of others before their own. This perspective continues to inform my work with clients as they navigate challenges both on and off the job.

Phillip McKinnon

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Rancho Mirage, CA


I'm a therapist based in the Coachella Valley with a broad scope. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children navigating some of life's most difficult terrain: trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, substance use and addiction, family conflict, grief, anger, and the particular pressures that come with being a man in a culture that rarely teaches men how to ask for help.

I offer both in-person sessions in the valley and telehealth appointments throughout California. My approach is direct but never harsh, structured but never rigid. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, I meet you where you actually are.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Riverside

Searching for therapists in Riverside starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists and Riverside counselors may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. A profile may mention cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or experience with couples counseling in Riverside, which can help you decide who may be a strong fit.

Riverside offers local therapy options across neighborhoods like Downtown, Arlington, Magnolia Center, and surrounding areas, while virtual sessions can add more choice if commute time or scheduling matters. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual appointments for flexibility. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and experience with the concerns you want to address.

Therapy in Riverside can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway makes it easier to find therapists in Riverside, CA who are accepting new patients and offer clear cost estimates before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare in-person and virtual options, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
