Hi, I’m Alexis! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia with several years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, life transitions, and challenging family or relationship dynamics.

My experience includes community-based care, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit organizations, residential treatment, and private practice. I use evidence-based approaches including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed, attachment-based, and IFS-informed interventions.

I earned bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Religion, a Master of Social Work, and a Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Georgia. I am currently completing my Doctorate degree and also serve as a part-time Assistant Professor, helping prepare future social work professionals.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Augusta

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Augusta starts with choosing care that is identity-affirming and aligned with your needs. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress related to lived experience. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients. These details can help you find a therapist whose background matches what you want from care.

Augusta has a range of mental health professionals, but therapists who explicitly focus on LGBTQIA+ care may be fewer than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping in-person care available if you prefer a local office. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their communication style feels like a fit. Reading profiles before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, populations served, and session structure.

Therapy in Augusta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Augusta who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, enter your insurance details for an estimated cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
