My name is Alexis, I’m the founder and director here at Known Therapy House. I’ve had a private practice in Auburn for over a decade and the mental health needs of the community have become abundantly clear to me during this time! I'm excited to now have the opportunity for a broader impact with the opening of KTH. Our dedication to quality mental health includes thorough assessment, a wide variety of trauma informed treatment modalities, and the unique opportunity to be outdoors in the therapy garden.

Have you had difficulty coping with life changes or challenges? Are you looking to improve relationships with others? Have you noticed an increase in depression or anxiety? Do you want to change part of your life, but you’re not sure how to start? Perhaps you are looking for growth or self-improvement? These are some of the questions and thoughts that motivate people to begin therapy. Therapy provides a place to explore your feelings, create goals and implement new strategies to improve your functioning. This journey can be a powerful experience and I hope to walk with you to support you in meeting your goals.

It may be difficult to believe that life can be different right now. While everyone experiences problems, sometimes it gets hard to find the way through. You don't have to do it alone. I am committed to helping you, your child, teen, or family move beyond feeling stuck and hopeless. Whether you are worried about your child, recovering from abuse, trauma, or a painful loss, or find yourself repeating unwanted behaviors, I understand & am here to help you find your way to the life you want and deserve.

I have been working in mental health for more than 10 years. If you are facing a challenging situation or difficult life transition, I am here to help you navigate your growth. Life throws us curveballs; it is easy to become overwhelmed. During these times it helps to have someone with you.

My objective is to help people gain insight and live with more intention. I specialize in early childhood, family systems and couples. I work with individuals to support better function within the complex systems of family and society. I am passionate about creating a space for not only self-discovery and self acceptance, but to allow clients to feel seen, heard, and valued. I enjoy exploring with my clients is their upbringing and how it's affected their relationships. I have extensive experience helping clients use assertive communication to set boundaries in their relationships.

Dr. Ekemo recently relocated his practice to Auburn, CA from Bellevue Washington. He has been providing psychological services for over 20 years mainly to public safety agencies (pre-employment screening, fitness for duty, critical incident debriefings, job coaching and management consultations). He also specializes in individual Neuropsychological evaluations (brain injuries, dementia etc.) and Risk Management consultations to private sector organizations and HR departments. If you are an employer or school concerned about violence in your work setting; training programs and workshops are available for your staff.

Therapy is a wonderful place to show up unguarded, open to change, and willing to be vulnerable, and I love creating a safe place for this. I bring my background as a mental health researcher and integrate that with a warm, compassionate approach, to deliver tailored therapy for your needs. I work from a person-centered, relational therapeutic orientation, and love to pull from additional approaches and interventions as the dynamic relationship and unique needs unfold in the room.

Would you like to be happy and successful? Do you want to be understood and receive real support and answers? Are you an athlete needing help with your sports performance? There are solutions. I have been privileged to work with many adults, children and parents in resolving their difficulties. They have found new hope, as well as, a new outlook on life. You will find that I have valuable experience working with people affected by depression, anxiety, peer or family conflict, defiance, acting out, self-harm, PTSD, physical and sexual abuse, school/work/sport performance and related issues.

I invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Whether you're an adult, teen, or a couple, I greet you with openness and curiosity. You might be in the midst of a struggle or major life transition. I will support you to discover the path forward. All your feelings and emotions are welcome.

Have you been through a lot in your life? Do you sometimes feel beaten down by all that you’ve gone through? Has it left you feeling stuck and anxious? No matter what their stories have been, I sit with my clients and help them to find the joy and freedom in their lives they have longed for. We move from surviving to thriving. My clients walk away recognizing how resilient they are and what it takes to live a fully free life. Come into my office. I keep things real. I know how to laugh, relax and join with my clients in their journeys. It doesn’t have to be this hard.

Treating individuals and couples with an emphasis on individual needs is my focus. Working together, we can identify patterns of communication that get in the way of a loving relationship. If you and your partner are feeling worlds apart, Emotion Focused Therapy can help bringing you closer together. EFT has a proven track record of helping couples like you enrich their relationships through the discovery and removal of these roadblocks to intimacy. Let me be your guide on this journey of discovery. Help is just a phone call away.

With over thirty years of experience in helping people with their relationships, I offer effective and efficient methods for change. In our initial meetings, we will map your unique path for healing. You will leave with practical tools for increasing peace and joy in your life. In addition, we will clearly discuss what you can expect in terms of approximate length of treatment and treatment outcomes.

Do you feel like no one understands you? Have you had a loss in your life that you are having a difficult time "getting over"? Do you think there is more for you in life but you don't know how to get there? If so, I can help.

We all walk through valleys in our lives, my hope is that you don't walk it alone. There are sometimes scary parts of us, my hope is to help them become less scary. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I put my heart and soul into walking alongside my clients. I strive to have a safe and collaborative relationship in which we work together to find the answers and solutions you are in need of, striving to help you see yourself more fully, so that ultimately you feel deep healing and empowerment. We are all on a journey of becoming a better version of ourselves, it would be an honor to be a part of your journey.

You are struggling. Your life isn't what you want it to be. We can help! We specialize in anxiety, depression, couples issues, addictions, sleep problems, concussion, ADD, and trauma. We are friendly and goal-oriented. I have 20 years experience working with adults, teens, and children. And, if you wish, we can also integrate neurofeedback training into our work together. Neurofeedback uses the EEG (which neurologists also use) to teach you to change brainwave patterns that keep you from being your best. I studied Neurofeedback at San Francisco State University, and am Board Certified in Biofeedback.

I will hold a non-judgmental, safe space where you will be seen, heard, and valued. Emotions and life can be extremely hard to handle alone. I hope I can help you unravel all of the complexities life has to offer while looking into one’s thought patterns, beliefs, and relationships. I wants to help individuals, youth, families, and couples get to know more about themselves on a deeper level, as well as help individuals heal and grow.

Are you looking for a more joyous and purposeful life? I believe you enter therapy already equipped for the transformation you seek. Our greatest barrier to the life we aspire is in our mind. "If you focus on the hurt, you will continue to suffer. If you focus on the lesson, you will continue to grow." I'm happy to help you unpack and process areas that are keeping you stuck from living your best life!

I love seeing people grow and overcome obstacles that previously seemed insurmountable! I work with couples and adult individuals. You may seek help with your partner when you feel like you're stuck in a loop where the harder you try to work things out, the more you wind up hurting each other. You may come on your own if you've hit a rough patch and need help regaining your equilibrium. My job, as I see it, is to join you and help you unpack your thoughts and feelings with an eye toward building a brighter future.

Hello, I have worked in the mental health field for almost 23 years, in multiple settings and with a wide variety of clients with varying backgrounds, cultures, ages, mental health issues, symptoms and needs. I work primarily from an existential/humanistic perspective, exploring one's own meaning in their experiences, and draw on various traditions and philosophies to find what works for each unique client. I see myself as open-minded and non-judgmental, with the ability to say what can be difficult to express while encouraging others' self-expression. I also provide Clinical Supervision from a Reflective Practice perspective.
