Hi there! My name is Alexis Skopos, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who specializes in Brainspotting.

I’m Alexis! Are you looking for a relatable therapist? Someone who can help you work through life’s struggles with a realistic approach? Maybe experiencing anxiety and depression? Maybe someone who you will laugh with, cry with, and be challenged by? Well, I’m your girl! We all want to be understood and heard. It is a basic human necessity for healing. I do my best to cultivate an environment where you can be open and honest about the struggles you are facing. I will never judge you for anything you are going through because we are all human and dealing with the human experience.

In terms of my background and experience, I graduated from Stetson University with a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling. I also have experience working in residential units, crisis units, high schools, child welfare, and methadone clinics.

I am incredibly passionate about working with the LGBTQIA community, sex positive community, body acceptance community, and domestic violence survivors. I am formally trained in Brainspotting,  cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma informed modalities, Gottman relationship therapy, and Prepare/ Enrich therapy.

I come from a Greek background and am passionate about the ancient Greek concept of

Sophrosyne, which focuses on improving one’s character and maintaining an upbeat sound of mind. The idea is to lead a well-balanced life and gain a sense of control rather than feeling like your life is spiraling and you don’t have access to the brakes or steering wheel. So that is my approach toward helping others achieve their goals and create new pathways in life to better themselves. We all need to take time for ourselves and connect with a sense of inner peace.

This is why I am passionate about my hobbies and love finding new and fun creative outlets to express my emotions and represent who I am as my own person. For example, I love candle making, resin art making, trendy makeup looks, and tattoos… I think I may have over one hundred tattoos altogether! I love the idea of self-expression and loving your own originality. I believe in the power of creativity, whether in music, art, dance, writing, or whatever brings you happiness. I also think using one’s imagination brings so much joy and inner peace. That’s why I love playing with dogs, games, swimming , and going to state springs in my spare time! I also love collecting plants, designing, laughing with friends and family, and seeking new adventures. To me, life is full of possibilities, and I try to relish each day to the fullest.

I firmly believe in people using creative methods to express themselves and finding passions that benefit their mental health.

I welcome you and look forward to getting to know you better!
