Alexis Schmiedigen, Psy.D.

Whether entering therapy for symptom relief, a desire for greater self-understanding, or to cope with a particular crisis, I am committed to helping clients achieve their goals. I use a relational, trauma informed, individually-tailored and integrative approach to treatment. This means therapy with me often involves working together to uncover and explore the ways in which feelings, thoughts, behaviors, relationships and past experiences are affecting the present, while learning healthy, adaptive coping skills.

I believe it is important to form a genuine, empathic connection in therapy where clients feel safe and supported. My direct, warm approach, along with evidence-based practices, empowers clients to develop the insights and skills needed to make lasting, meaningful changes in their lives. Using telehealth, I am able to work with adults and couples residing in IL and MA, from various professional, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds.

I treat a variety of concerns including:
Anxiety
Relationship issues
Trauma
Attachment
Grief/Loss
Self-esteem
Life transitions
Infertility
Maternal mental health
Eating disorders
Stress management
Anger management
Acculturative stress
Cross cultural challenges
Cancer and other health issues
