Specialized PTSD Treatment Services
Effective PTSD treatment focuses on helping the brain and nervous system process traumatic experiences so they no longer feel immediate or threatening. Care is individualized, evidence-based, and paced to support safety and stability.

EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a primary treatment offered for PTSD. EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they become less distressing and less likely to trigger intense emotional or physical reactions. Many clients experience symptom relief without needing to repeatedly describe traumatic events in detail.

Additional Evidence-Based Approaches
Treatment may also include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns
Prolonged Exposure Therapy: Gradually and safely reducing avoidance
Written Exposure Therapy: Structured, time-limited trauma processing through writing
Psychoeducation: Learning how trauma affects the brain and body
Skills Building: Tools for grounding, emotional regulation, and stress management

I’m Alexis Jette, LICSW, MSW. I’m a licensed independent clinical social worker in private practice based in Lexington, Massachusetts, and I’m honored to walk alongside adults and teens in their healing journey.

I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative, compassionate, and deeply personal. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered to move toward meaningful change — even when healing feels difficult or out of reach.

My Clinical Approach

My practice is centered on evidence-based care with a special focus on:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

I also have extensive experience supporting individuals coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use, trauma, and complex life stressors. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities to tailor treatment to your unique needs, including cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, written exposure therapy, and prolonged exposure therapy when appropriate. One of my special interests is working with adolescents and families. As a parent of two teenagers myself, I understand firsthand the joys and complexities of raising young people in today’s world.

A Holistic Perspective

In addition to my work as a therapist, I have over a decade of experience supporting new families as an Independently Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).This background has deepened my understanding of life transitions, identity shifts, stress, and the emotional complexities that often accompany major changes.
