Alexis Golden, LCSW
Specializes In:
Alexis Golden, LCSW, provides compassionate, person-centered therapy to adolescents, teens, and adults across Illinois since 2019. At LifeStance Health, she supports individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and other mental health concerns, creating a collaborative and affirming space focused on building practical skills and lasting emotional growth.
Alexis has a special interest in supporting individuals transitioning from psychiatric hospitalization back into daily life. She works closely with clients to strengthen coping skills, rebuild confidence, and establish stability during this critical period.
Her approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including CBT, DBT, and ACT, tailored to each client’s goals. Alexis also has experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, those involved in adoption or foster care, and others seeking inclusive, affirming care.
She believes in the power of connection, self-discovery, and self-compassion, and is committed to helping clients build resilience and create meaningful, values-driven lives.
Outside of therapy, Alexis enjoys spending time outdoors, birding, exploring nature, practicing yoga, crafting, and working on creative projects. She treasures time with her family and finds joy in simple moments, including relaxing with her cat and reconnecting with the natural world.
