About Me

Hello, I'm Alexis.

My path to becoming a counselor was not a traditional one. I earned my degree in Civil Engineering, but deep down, I knew my passion was elsewhere. Rather than staying on the safe and expected path, I returned to school to pursue counseling—a calling that had been on my heart for years.

My passion for mental health began long before I became a therapist. In 2019 when I was crowned Miss Vicksburg, I utilized my platform to increase mental health awareness. I kicked off my first mental health fair because I believed people deserved greater access to conversations, resources, and support surrounding mental wellness. That belief continues to guide my work today.

Since then, I became the counselor I needed when I was younger. My goal is to help others discover that healing is possible and that thriving is within reach. I am passionate about creating a space where people can let go of shame, embrace their valid emotions, and overcome the fear of judgment. I believe true growth comes from accepting what is, embracing who you are, and pursuing wholeness rather than perfection.

When someone chooses to share their story with me, I consider it an honor. Every breakthrough, every step forward, and every testimony I hear is a privilege to witness. While I am grateful to be part of the journey, I know the credit does not belong to me. I give glory to God for leading me along this path and allowing me to walk alongside others as they heal, grow, and become the healthiest version of themselves.

Your Questions, Answered

  • Therapy services provided by Faith Therapy Practice are not intended to replace emergency or crisis services. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, are in immediate danger, or believe you may harm yourself or someone else, do not wait for a scheduled therapy appointment or use the practice’s messaging system for emergency assistance.

    For immediate assistance, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. You may also call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for immediate crisis support.

    Messages, emails, and appointment requests may not be monitored continuously and should not be relied upon for urgent or emergency needs.

    If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, it is safest to seek immediate assistance by calling 911 or 988.

  • We will discuss your needs and schedule your first appointment. I will ask for your name (or child’s name), your email, and DOB. You will then receive an email to fill out paperwork before your scheduled appointment.

  • Through the contact page, email, or calling (601) 210-7988.

  • I accept most insurances. There are also self-pay options for those who do not have insurance or wish not to use it.

  • Every client’s experience is different. I see both children and adults, so my approach varies greatly depending on the client. I typically use psychoeducation, psychodynamic, emotion centered, and CBT techniques. I hope to foster a experience where the client is just as comfortable with me as they would be talking to a close friend.
