Alexis Bierman, LPC-Associate, facilitates expressive arts groups. A counselor and mixed-media mosaic artist, she holds an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and an MA in Anthropology and Museum Training. She has come to see humans as a life-long special interest, since she was an anthropology/psychology major in undergraduate with a minor in religion and had a journalism scholarship out of high school

Learning about trauma helped Alexis develop self-compassion and inspired her to become a counselor so she could help others find similar understanding. Her practice incorporates creativity, mindfulness, and play, drawing in part on interpersonal neurobiology and Internal Family Systems.

Expressive arts sessions require no artistic experience—just room to explore and discover what feels useful to you. Some supplies may be helpful; see the supply list for suggestions
