Alexis Austin
As a therapist with hands-on experience at Westchester Medical Center and Hawthorne Cedar Knolls, I specialize in areas that may deeply resonate with you, whether you’re facing relationship issues, navigating reproductive mental health challenges, or seeking recovery from trauma. I offer focused support for a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, intimacy concerns, and life transitions like divorce or pregnancy loss. By blending my training with your personal goals, we can move forward with practical steps toward meaningful change.
In our work together, I use evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT to help you move through distress and build resilience. These methods can support you in breaking cycles of negative thought, learning new ways to cope, and ultimately, finding the strength and clarity you need to create the life you want. I’ve led trauma-informed groups for survivors of abuse and sexual assault, helping clients make sense of what they’ve been through, build a support network, and develop a sense of personal empowerment.
My approach is deeply rooted in respect, empathy, and active listening. I understand how valuable it is to feel seen, heard, and validated, especially when life feels difficult. Having worked with clients in both medical and therapeutic settings, I’m here to help you manage complex emotional terrain with patience, understanding, and a commitment to what’s best for you. If you’re ready to explore a new path, I’m here to support you—whether it’s working through a recent loss, navigating relationship challenges, or beginning your recovery journey.
