Alexis Allensworth, MS
Asante EAP and Counseling Services
Counselor
Alexis Allensworth believes every individual can benefit
from counseling. She facilitates
self-exploration by discussing concerns about family, relationships, stress,
self-esteem, and mental health. Alexis has a special interest in exploring
communication barriers within romantic, personal, and family relationships. She
also focuses on early development, specifically regarding autonomy and self-esteem,
and how those aspects of a person’s early life strongly influence mental health
as an adult.
Alexis practices “person-centered counseling,” tailoring her
services to each individual’s unique needs.
She believes the client and counselor are equal contributors to the
discussion, and goals should be set by the client seeking treatment. Person-centered techniques allow clients to
come to their own conclusions about change.
In addition, Alexis utilizes techniques from solution-focused
therapy and transgenerational family therapy.
Solution-focused therapy allows clients to determine specific goals that
will help them facilitate change and bring about new solutions. Transgenerational family therapy looks at the
whole family system in order to determine life patterns continuing in the
present.
Alexis holds a master’s
degree in applied psychology with an emphasis in mental health counseling from
Southern Oregon University, where she also earned a bachelor’s degree in criminology
and psychology with a minor in philosophy.
Alexis counsels individuals, adults, children age 7-18, groups, couples,
and families.
