Alexis Castro
Background
Alexis earned her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. She has experience with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders and trauma.
Her work focuses on helping people understand the patterns in their thoughts, emotions and relationships while building healthier coping strategies and steadier day-to-day functioning.
Approach
Alexis tailors each session to the person in front of her, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and person-centered techniques.
She values a collaborative process, practical tools, insight, and change that holds outside the session.
Working With Alexis
Begin with the free 5 to 10 minute consultation. It is a short conversation to see whether working with Alexis fits what you are looking for, and to talk through timing and whether in person or video suits you better.
Sessions run 50 to 60 minutes, and a 48-hour cancellation policy applies.
In-person sessions take place at the practice's offices in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and Manhattan. Video sessions are available anywhere in Florida or New York, as long as you are physically in one of those states during the session. Ask on the consultation call where Alexis is seeing clients.
The practice does not provide emergency services. In a crisis, call or text 988, or dial 911.
