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
We take pride in our eclectic approach to therapy, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to create a truly personalized experience for each of our clients.
Whether you're exploring the depths of your emotions through mindfulness therapy or setting bold goals with solution-focused brief therapy, we're here to support you every step of the way.
We operate from a lens of cultural humility, ensuring that therapy is respectful, inclusive, and sensitive to the diverse backgrounds and experiences of all clients.
Yourhood specializes in Perinatal Mental Health, Fertility, Anxiety, General Stressors, Life Transitions, Sexuality, and Relationships.
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.
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.
