Alexis Bahnmaier is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with over 12 years of experience working with clients that struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. She also specializes in helping individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community work through questions of gender, sexuality, identity, as well as the social prejudices and anxieties associated with family, friends, and workplaces. Alexis earned her Master's degree in Social Work from Florida State University and implements a warm counseling style that is interactive, and heavily client-centered.
Alexis focuses on treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, without using stigmatizing labels. Her approach combines cognitive-behavioral (CBT), humanistic, and solutions-focused (SFT) methods. Alexis will focus on tailoring sessions and treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs.
Alexis is a firm believer that rather than pushing an individual through treatment, therapy should guide and support them at their own pace. She knows that it takes courage to seek treatment for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward positive change.
