Alexis Guerrero, MSW

Supervisee in Social Work

​

Alexis is a psychotherapist who specializes in working with Eating Disorders, OCD, and anxiety. She enjoys working with teenagers and young adults in individual therapy and groups. She is passionate about helping individuals find peace within and acceptance of themselves while working toward a life full of fulfilling relationships and experiences. She abides by the philosophy that, although it may look different for each person, healing and thriving are available to those who are willing to work for and receive it.

 

Alexis believes that cultivating personal values is key to working through and moving forward from past trauma and current issues with self-worth, emotional dysregulation, and dysfunctional relationship patterns. She helps clients identify internalized messages from their familial and cultural backgrounds as well as other life experiences and empowers them to create a life that they can claim as their own. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) to help those she works with achieve their goals.

 

Alexis has experience working with children, teenagers, and adults in community care organizations, outpatient practice, and higher levels of care. Additionally, Alexis has a background in mental health advocacy and public relations. She is passionate about breaking down stigma and misinformation about mental illness, body image, and eating disorders. Alexis has a Master of Social Work from Brigham Young University and is currently a Supervisee in Clinical Social Work. She is supervised by Aminah Mellion, LCSW.
