Our Story
Founded by Alex Phillips, LCSW, our practice is built on the belief that therapy is not just about addressing crises—it's about celebrating your strengths, exploring your passions, and rediscovering what makes you truly remarkable.
With a passion for helping others and a vision for a more inclusive, empowering approach to therapy, Alex set out to create a space where every individual could feel seen, heard, and valued.
Our Style - Personalized Therapy for Your Whole Self.
No two people experience life, work, relationships, or change in exactly the same way, and we don’t believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. Our individualized approach draws from a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities to create care that reflects who you are, what you’re navigating, and where you want to go.
Whether you’re working through a major life transition, managing stress or burnout, navigating relationships or motherhood, understanding a neurodivergent mind, or pursuing personal and professional growth, we meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface while developing practical tools and strategies that help you create meaningful, tangible change.
Our work is grounded in cultural humility and genuine curiosity about your lived experience. We create an inclusive, judgment-free space where your identity, values, background, and ambitions are respected and you can show up as your whole self.

Founder & Therapist
Throughout her career, Alexandria Phillips, LCSW has found that there is no singular way to approach therapy. Yourhood was founded to serve individuals in whatever capacity they need at any time or stage of life. The goal is to provide a comfortable environment and dedicated time for clients to hone in on themselves in the present.
Alex wanted to ensure each session is approached with a client’s unique characteristics and experiences in mind, creating the optimal environment to work through whatever you are bringing to the space in order to move forward.

Working With Alex
I consider myself a "feelings excavator" and "thought provoker," dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely.
My warm, familiar, and relaxed personality fosters a collaborative and open line of communication. I believe in the power of individuality, recognizing that no two people are the same and meeting you where you are at during our sessions.
Our Process
At Yourhood Therapy, we employ a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to meet your unique needs and goals:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
Rooted in evidence, CBT helps you recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, equipping you with valuable skills to manage mental distress and psychological challenges.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
Emphasizing acceptance and mindfulness, ACT encourages you to acknowledge and embrace your emotions and situations, aligning your actions with your core values to create meaningful change.
Mindfulness Therapy:
By focusing on the present moment, mindfulness therapy empowers you to cultivate awareness and quell negative thought patterns, promoting emotional well-being and self-awareness.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT):
Our solution-focused approach helps you identify pragmatic steps to achieve your desired future, harnessing your strengths and experiences to effect meaningful change in the present.
