Hi, I’m Lexi Strawder! I’m a therapist-in-training graduate level intern pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Winthrop University who is currently undergoing my Master internship at Calming Waters Counseling Services. I take a strengths-based, person-centered approach and focus on empowering clients to build self-esteem, navigate life transitions, and reconnect with purpose and passion for life. With a background as a yoga instructor and certification in trauma-informed yoga, I love integrating mindfulness into sessions while using an integrative, holistic approach grounded in IFS, DBT, CBT, and existential therapy. Clients 7yrs and up are welcome to see about starting individual sessions with me on Tuesdays-Thursdays at the Cotswold office under the supervision of Calming Waters’ intern coordinator Amy Gebben, LMFT, RPTS, LCMHCQS. Outside of the office, you can usually find me on my mat at the yoga studio, working out at the gym, spending time outdoors, journaling, or enjoying quality time with friends.
