Lexi Patrick, LPC

Hello hello! I’m Lexi and my work is about one thing: helping people find their way out of the dark. Whether it’s you or your child who feels stuck, lost, or like you’re running on empty, I am here to help you navigate. Think of me as a flashlight you point as we move from painful places toward safety, freedom, and eventually joy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and genuinely a little quirky. I’ll challenge you, laugh with you, and cry with you. And above all, I’m committed to earning your trust at your pace.

Let’s dive into your world a bit:
Every day feels like a cycle of worry you can’t break out of
You’ve poured everything into others’ needs and hit a wall
Your mind is a battlefield of conflicting thoughts, making decisions feel impossible
Tasks pile up and the idea of starting feels bigger than the tasks themselves
You’re wearing a mask, even with yourself, just to get through the day
Strong emotions spiral into panic, self-harm, or a numbness that feels easier
Things you used to love no longer bring you joy, even laughter feels hollow
You’ve discovered new parts of yourself and don’t know how to embrace them

We may work well together if you prefer:
Creativity as a tool, not a gimmick
We use imagination, metaphors, storytelling, and play to explore your values, needs, and patterns. This isn’t just for kids, it’s for anyone whose brain works better through story than spreadsheets.

Pop culture as a portal
Anime, cartoons, movies, games carry real truths about identity, relationships, and conflict. If you’ve ever felt something deeply through a fictional character, we can use that. It’s not off-topic; it’s insight.

Games for growth
Video games are a legitimate space to explore emotions, relationships, and choices. I incorporate games like Escape Simulator, Stardew Valley, BOKURA, Chicken Police, The Cosmic Wheel of Sisterhood, and Duck Detective: The Secret Salami into sessions when they serve a purpose. I also facilitate therapeutic Daggerheart groups; a collaborative storytelling RPG that builds emotional skills through sharing and exploring the narrative.

Coping tools that fit your brain
I tailor skills to how you actually learn – whether you’re a list-lover, a map-maker, or someone who writes on their arms to remember. Your coping toolkit should feel like it’s made for your brain.

Full identity welcome
Every part of who you are belongs in this space. I’m affirming, curious, and genuinely interested in meeting all of you. You might discover more of you along the way too!
