Whether you are seeking help in your career, looking to improve your relationship, having problems with the kids or struggling with anxiety, let's get started. The time is now!

Hi there! My name is Alexis Cardenas, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Although everyone has a story that shapes who we are, I truly believe that our current struggles and past experiences don’t have to limit all that we can become. I have experience providing individual and group therapy in school settings, trauma crisis centers, and private practice. I work with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds, helping them learn healthy ways of coping with a variety of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, low-self esteem, anger, relationship difficulties, and major life changes.

We believe every person is unique and therefore needs an individually-tailored therapy approach. The philosophy of our practice is to help individuals overcome the challenges that confront them in order to achieve psychological, emotional & mental well-being.

We have found to look at life differently for many reasons and we have learned life is in the here and the now. Helping clients discover their healthier self will promote less stress, anxiety, and depression in their lives. When working clients, it’s important for me to get to know who the client is, where they have been what their goals are. When one learns to set obtainable goals it’s not so overwhelming and it helps the client to feel empowered thus giving the client a sense of accomplishment instead of setting themselves up for disappointment. The importance of this is to help the client to obtain tools use in their lives.

Life can feel overwhelming even in the best of times. You may experience a trauma or crisis or the very real stress of every day life. Sometimes you can cope and sometimes you need some emotional support. If emotional pain, fear or uncertainty is causing you to shy away from living the life you want, know that there is help. If you are looking to make changes that can help you have healthier, happier relationships and life experiences or deal with emotional upheavals or family issues we may be a good fit for therapy.
