Alexa Yassi, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I believe healing happens when we stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and begin asking, “What happened to me, and how did I learn to survive?” Many of the patterns that leave us feeling stuck, whether anxiety, relationship struggles, perfectionism, people pleasing, or emotional overwhelm, developed for a reason. Together, we work to understand those patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. My approach is experiential, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that insight alone is rarely enough to create lasting change. I integrate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), attachment-focused therapy, parts work, and somatic interventions to help clients move beyond coping and toward healing. Rather than simply talking about painful experiences, we work together to help your nervous system process difficult experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional weight. I also believe healing is about building a relationship with yourself. As people develop greater self-compassion, emotional awareness, and confidence in their ability to navigate life’s uncertainty, they often find they no longer feel controlled by old wounds or survival strategies. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more secure in your relationships, and more able to live in alignment with the person you want to be.

In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for individuals seeking an innovative approach to healing. KAP may be beneficial for those experiencing treatment-resistant depression, trauma, anxiety, or feeling “stuck” despite years of therapy. I provide thorough preparation, supportive in-session care, and integration support to help clients make meaningful and lasting changes.
