Hi, I’m Alexis Siegmann.
My Approach
I use therapy themes that offer practical, compassionate care that fits your situation. I blend gentle humor, steady compassion, and deep empathy with effective challenging techniques to create a safe yet growth-oriented therapeutic space; I use light humor to ease tension and build connection, compassionate presence to validate your experience, attentive empathy to truly understand where you are, and strategic challenge to gently question unhelpful patterns and invite new perspectives, all while pacing interventions to match your readiness so change feels possible, respectful, and sustainable. I will generally pause to ask if you are ready to go deeper into a topic in order to get to the root of the problem. I never want to push anyone but I also want to get you feeling better so its a little like a dance.
Together we set clear goals, map the outside and inside factors keeping the problem going, practice skills, and work kindly with vulnerable parts to build balance and resilience. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma recovery, and life transitions, and is adapted to your culture, values, and healing.
Theories I use include
CBT
IFS
DBT
Gottman
EFT
ERP

About me
When I log off sessions you can find me at any local coffee shop (Open Door coffee, the Burlington Bean, and the Greenhouse are my favorites), reading a fantasy novel, trying to convince my husband to get a dog, playing with my daughter in her imaginative mind, or playing video games to ease stressors.
I love reminding my clients how un-therapist-like I can be. I find that the self disclosure actually can help people let loose in session. Where I can be another “messed” up human who is just trying to get through life as we all are. It helps break the initial wall down of discomfort and need to feel reserved.
