Lexi Gross (She/her/hers)

As a chronic illness and chronic pain therapist, I understand the unique challenges and impacts that chronic illness and pain can have on a person's life, relationships, work, and mental health. My lived experience as well as additional professional training informs how I work with clients with chornic illness and chornic pain. I often support my clients in shifitng their relationship with their body and symptoms and helping them connect back to other parts of their identities and values.

I specialize in trauma therapy and use my training in Somatic Experiencing to my work with clients when addressing the affects of PTSD and trauma on their lives. My approach to working with trauma is a mind/body approach, one that focuses on the nervous system and how the body responded to the trauma. I help clients to complete incomplete trauma reponses and increase their skills and ability to be with tough feelings, emotions, and thoughts for long term processing and healing.

I support my clients through a number of avenues in addressing their challenges with anxiety. I help to educate clients on the physiological and nervous system processes connected to their anxiety. I helped clients to increase their ability to be with the discomfort of their anxiety without avoidance, and instead be able to continue to move towards what is supportive of their values and goals. I enjoy teaching clients how to use mindfulness and somatic skills to cope with their anxiety too.
