Alexis Reinheimer Social Worker

Alexis believes that everyone has the right to a happy and fulfilling life despite life’s constant challenges. As a therapist, she provides a person-centred, trauma-informed and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and work towards their mental health goals. Alexis supports young people and adults from diverse backgrounds with issues such as stress and anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, loneliness, grief, and life transitions. She uses a solution-based perspective to tailor sessions to clients’ strengths and interests. Alexis draws from various evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness. Alexis greatly values diversity, offering a neurodiversity-affirming approach that is gender and sexuality-affirming and culturally sensitive. Alexis holds a Master of Social Work degree from Monash University in Australia and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from St. Lawrence University in the United States. She is also studying a Master of Counselling and plans to graduate in December 2025.
