"Empowering Your Mental Health Journey With Integrated Care"

Alexis Smith, LMSW | Flint & Grand Blanc Therapist & Site Supervisor

As a dedicated Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW), I am thrilled to engage in therapeutic work with individuals seeking support. Drawing from both personal and professional experiences, I understand that therapy serves as a vital space for self-exploration and addressing life’s challenges. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or other concerns, I am here to guide you toward healing and growth.

I hold a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Psychology from Suffolk University.  Additionally, I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Simmons University in Boston, MA.  While my primary focus lies in anxiety and depression, I am passionate about accompanying clients on diverse journeys. Together, we can explore various areas of life and well-being.

My therapeutic approach is informed and strengths-based. I believe in fostering collaboration with clients to tailor interventions that meet their unique needs. By creating a safe and positive environment, we can work together to address challenges, build resilience, and promote overall well-being.

I eagerly anticipate providing you with a holistic therapeutic experience that kickstarts your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Client Reviews and Testimonials

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Alexis has helped me so much. Just recently, I've been diagnosed with cancer and divorce, and I totaled my pickup. I enjoy therapy, and she's so down to earth, and that makes it easier to open up. And McKenzie at the front desk, she's so good at her job, especially being so young, very responsible and thorough."

"Alexis is very good at what she does. I have had therapists in the past, and Alexis has been the one to help me through this depression and anxiety, and my PTSD."

"Alexis was an absolute DREAM."

"Our grandson has been visiting one of the wonderful counselors at GCS for the last three months, and we couldn’t be happier! It’s heartwarming to see his smile coming back, and he’s enjoying more happy days. Plus, he’s doing a great job managing his emotions. We’re so thankful our daughter discovered GCS for him!"
