Testimonial
"I am deeply grateful for the invaluable supervision I received from Alexis James during my journey as a developing play therapist. Alexis possesses a rare and remarkable combination of warmth, wisdom, and clinical expertise that created an ideal environment for my professional growth. From our very first meeting, I felt genuinely supported, respected, and encouraged to lean into both my strengths and areas for growth.
Alexis consistently fostered a supervision space that was both safe and appropriately challenging. She has an exceptional ability to ask thoughtful, reflective questions that inspired me to think critically about my therapy techniques while also honoring my unique therapeutic voice. Her insights into experiential play therapy and Integrative approaches were both accessible and deeply enriching, providing me with new tools and perspectives that enhanced my confidence and competence as a new therapist.
What stood out most to me about Alexis was her unwavering belief in my potential. She provided constructive feedback with compassion and clarity, always balancing affirmation with guidance in a way that made me feel seen, supported, and capable.
It has truly been a privilege to work under Alexis’s supervision. I credit much of my professional development and increased confidence as a therapist to her generous mentorship and expert guidance. I would highly recommend Alexis James to any clinician seeking a knowledgeable, nurturing, insightful, and empowering supervision experience."
