I'm Alexis Staeb, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona and Idaho, offering individual therapy to adults navigating the complexity of being human and the collective impact of our lived experiences on ourselves and others. Often, dysfunctional behavioral and relational patterns began early as adaptive responses to chronic stress, relational wounds, or unmet attachment needs. "The essence of trauma is a disconnect from the self. Therefore, the essence of healing is not just uncovering one's past, but reconnecting with oneself in the present." — Gabor Maté Therapy becomes a place to slow down, make meaning of those survival adaptations, and gently create new ways of relating to yourself and others. "If you deny the story, it defines you. If you own the story, you can write a brave new ending." — Brené Brown My background spans inpatient, outpatient, hospice, and experiential treatment settings, and I integrate evidence-based, trauma-responsive approaches while tailoring therapy to each individual. My practice, Congruent Care, is built on a simple belief: healing happens in safe relationship, and change happens when care is intentional, attuned, authentic, congruent, connected, and consistent. These values will inform and guide our work together. "If you change nothing, nothing changes." — Albert Einstein I am currently accepting new clients, and it would be an honor to walk alongside you as you seek personal growth.
