What really is counseling?
The process of counseling is about understanding. It’s slowing your life down for an hour to get curious about your own self, reflect, and learn. We’ll explore questions like why do you think certain things happened (or didn’t happen) to you? Why do the lies of shame feel so easy to believe? What narrative have you formed about yourself, and how is it affecting the way you live today?
Why is it important to understand this?
Because counseling is not about blaming others or venting, but rather getting your story straight. Many of us don’t realize we’re still living out of old narratives about ourselves and the world that once helped us survive but no longer serve us. In many ways, counseling is grief work. Grief isn’t only about losing someone we love; it’s also about grieving what we didn’t receive, but deeply needed.
Counseling helps you understand yourself with compassion, so you can find empowerment to rewrite a narrative rooted in truth.
If any of this resonates, therapy can help you.
Does your sense of worth rise or fall depending on others’ approval or feedback?
Do you feel pressure to do things perfectly or fear letting others down?
Do you struggle to say no or feel guilty when you put your needs first?
Do you find yourself overextending for others while feeling exhausted or resentful internally?
Does the idea of being kind or compassionate toward yourself feel uncomfortable, or even undeserved?
Hi, I’m Lexie. I’m an Associate LPC-MHSP.
I’m a former public school teacher turned mental health counselor.
I work with individuals who have experienced Developmental & Relational Trauma; a form of childhood trauma occurring from ages 0-18 (and into college years) that includes various forms of abuse and neglect including emotional, physical, sexual, spiritual, and intellectual. At the heart of my work is the belief that every person is inherently worthy, without needing achievement or performance to earn their value. I am deeply influenced by my relationship with Jesus and His unconditional love for us. I firmly believe that if you have experienced suffering at the hands of those who were supposed to care and protect you, you can experience healing and joy.
I also work with couples to help strengthen communication, navigate conflict with grace, and deepen emotional and physical intimacy to feel more connected and supported in their relationship.
I am under the supervision of Dr.Joy Samuels DMin, LPC-MHSP (License #2364) and Carla Babb Ed.S, ACS, LPC-MHSP (License #1950). I am currently accepting new clients at Cypress Counseling Group and Tapestries Counseling Center.
Thank you for being here. I invite you to learn more about my heart for this work and the way I approach counseling.
