Alexis Decosimo is a licensed mental health clinician, registered art therapist, and Doctor of Public Health. She specializes in helping children, families, and individuals access healing through blending therapeutic artmaking and evidence-based approaches including EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, and person-centered approaches. She believes in meeting clients where they are, drawing on creative modalities to open pathways to healing that talk therapy alone may not reach.

Her clinical work is deeply informed by over a decade of international experience building mental health programs in some of the world’s most under-resourced settings, giving her a grounded, adaptive, and culturally sensitive approach to care. In her Asheville practice, she brings that same commitment to accessible, ethical, and community-rooted mental health support to help clients process trauma, build resilience, and find their footing through the power of expressive therapy.
