Alexis J Sturnick

You're managing a lot — expectations, relationships, the quiet pressure to have it all together. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you've lost touch with yourself. Not dramatically. Just gradually, until one day you realize you can't quite remember what actually feels like you. I work with people who are ready to stop just getting through the day and start reconnecting with what genuinely matters. My space is thoughtful, judgment-free, and built around your specific story — not a template.

Our partnership is built on trust and a deep commitment to your well-being. I specialize in complex relationships, substance use and recovery, perfectionism, and body image. We work collaboratively to get to the root of what's driving your stress — not just manage it — and build practical tools that honor where you are and where you want to go.

Choosing therapy is one of the more courageous things you can do — especially when you're used to handling everything alone. Whether you're pursuing personal growth or navigating recovery, you don't have to do it alone. Reach out today to schedule your consultation.

I work from a psychodynamic lens while utilizing other evidence based modalities, such as CBT and DBT, to help facilitate coping/soothing skills. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help make progress towards your goals. Together, we'll develop a therapeutic relationship that supports you living your most fulfilling life.
