Alexis Smith - Queer Corner Counseling

Hey there! Welcome to Queer Corner Counseling! I’m Alexis, a Black, queer, autistic, neurodivergent-affirming therapist who specializes in working with adults in the BIPOC LGBTQIA2S+ community. I’m excited to support you within an affirming space to recognize, explore and accept your own queer or neurodivergent identity and navigate the myriad of challenges that come along with these and being a POC. I will begin providing both adult autism and ADHD assessment starting in March 2025 with the goal of making formal assessment more accessible.

When we work together, you can expect my approach to incorporate lots of humor, encourage you to express your feelings in the present moment, involve aspects of astrology, exploration of your attachment and inner child wounds and to be tailored to meet your specific needs. I communicate with a human-forward approach (cussing, AAVE, millennial vibes, pop culture lingo, etc.). I’ll be sure to balance validating you while lovingly holding you accountable.

There’s no right or wrong way for you to show up to our sessions, whether you’ve got your bonnet on, pjs, wrapped in a blanket or munching a snack, I just want you to feel comfy. Through close, collaborative focus, I’ll support you to explore past experiences, the root of self-limiting beliefs, your relationships and present moment needs in order to deepen your self-compassion, ability to regulate and reach better alignment. I’ll also connect you with different resources and professionals that deepen the work that we’ll do. If you’re ready to dive in, book a free 15-minute consultation!
