About Us
Life-Long learner + neurodivergent-identifying
Meet Alexis
Hello, I’m Alexis, the heart behind Creative Fox Counseling Center. My passion lies in guiding individuals through their healing journeys using a blend of traditional therapies and expressive arts. With a background in trauma-informed care, I provide a space where you can explore your experiences safely and creatively.
I started Creative Fox Counseling because I didn’t see my story reflected in traditional therapy spaces. As someone who’s navigated trauma, family court, and creative healing, I believe therapy should be a space where you feel both held and empowered.
My Approach:
- Holistic Healing: Addressing the mind, body, and spirit through integrated therapeutic practices.
- Creative Expression: Encouraging the use of art, movement, and storytelling as tools for healing.
- Empowerment Focused: Supporting you in reclaiming your voice and fostering resilience.
Credentials:

Therapy Process
01
Culturally Rooted Care
With a prior master’s degree in Anthropology from George Washington University and an undergraduate dual major in psychology and anthropology with a minor in religion, Alexis has diverse professional experience, including museum education and digital marketing. Alexis is a paid member of the American Counseling Association.
02
Lived Experience + Advocacy*
She identifies as a late-diagnosed neurodivergent human and has struggled with issues of anxiety and empathic/narcissistic/rescuer victim triangles for much of her life. She identifies as a steadfast LGBTQIA2S+ ally and actively advocates for her fellow humans.
*Acknowledging systemic challenges that may exist in clients’ lives is a way to be culturally sensitive and should be best practice!
03
Healing the Why, Not Just the What
Alexis believes most diagnoses stop at symptomology and wants her clients to find the “why” behind their situation so they can identify as actively impacting their own healing, moving from surviving to thriving.
MORE THAN A REGULAR COUNSELOR
Beyond Counseling
Alexis serves on the board of the Austin Mosaic Guild and the Council of Stewards for Celebration Circle. Alexis creates mixed-media mosaics and shows her work at San Antonio’s Mockingbird Handprints Gallery, the San Antonio Art League, and Kapej Cafe. In 2023, Alexis earned certification as a “compassionista” and contributed to the development of the City of San Antonio’s “CompassionUSA” community training program.
