About Desert Rain
Desert Rain Behavioral Health Services was created to be a place of real connection, real healing, and real hope — especially for families, children, and individuals who have been carrying heavy emotions for too long. Here, you’ll find more than therapy — you’ll find a counselor who truly walks alongside you with heart, skill, and deep understanding.
Helping you heal with expertise, compassion, and a deep respect for your journey
I combine over two decades of specialized experience — from play therapy with young children to trauma-focused work with adults — with a genuine belief that every person deserves to feel lighter, stronger, and more whole.
My approach isn’t cookie-cutter. It's about meeting you (or your child) exactly where you are, creating a space where true change can happen, and supporting you every step of the way.
I am available for appointments in Phoenix.
Hi, I’m Alexis
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, and someone who knows firsthand what it feels like to walk through hard seasons. My work is deeply personal to me — shaped not only by 20+ years of professional experience, but also by my own healing from trauma and loss.
Over the years, I’ve worked in crisis services, led trauma programs for various communities, supervised teams of therapists, and sat with hundreds of clients — always holding space with warmth, compassion, and respect.
At Desert Rain, my goal is simple: to offer you or your child a safe place to heal, grow, and reconnect with who you really are.
“Alexis is a wonderful therapist and Clinical Supervisor. Alexis specializes in working with victims of abuse and neglect. She is a Play Therapist Supervisor and uses play therapy as the language of children to help them process their thoughts and feelings as well as abuse histories. Alexis has been trained in several modalities and sees very young children through adulthood. Alexis is empathetic, insightful and creative and clients seem to build quick rapport and trust with her. I highly recommend Alexis as your therapist.”

My Values
Compassionate Connection
Healing begins when you feel truly seen and supported. I meet every client —from tiny children to adults carrying big life experience— with empathy, patience, and care.
Experience You Can Trust
With advanced training in Play Therapy, EMDR, TFCBT, and Sand Tray Therapy — and over two decades of real-world trauma expertise — I bring both skill and heart to every session.
Personalized Healing
Every story is unique. I tailor therapy to honor your (or your child’s) individual needs, strengths, and goals — meeting you exactly where you are and helping you move forward at your own pace.
