Meet Alexis Rashelle Reynolds, a dedicated Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), one of the teletherapy providers here at Forward Counseling who believes that healing is a purposeful journey. With a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University, Alexis brings a wealth of experience from residential facilities, community agencies, and private practice settings.

Specializing in couples systems, Rashelle is certified in the Prepare and Enrich program and utilizes a diverse therapeutic toolkit including CBT, DBT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy to help clients navigate grief, anxiety, and trauma. She is passionate about working with individuals, adolescents, and couples who are ready to embrace change and dive deep into the work of healing.

William Richardson is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with three years of dedicated experience in the outpatient mental health field, including a graduate field placement that solidified his expertise. He is passionate about empowering clients to navigate their challenges and is committed to continuous learning to enhance his practice.

William's approach is highly integrated and client-focused, drawing from a variety of proven therapeutic styles. He primarily utilizes psychosocial, cognitive, and solution-oriented methods, with a focus on evidence-based practices such as:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Systems Theory, Exposure-Based Therapy, Problem-Solving & Psychoeducation.

For couples, William is a trained practitioner of the Gottman Methodology, an approach that emphasizes emotional reconciliation and improving communication. His commitment to advanced training is evidenced by his certifications in an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) course and a Trauma-Informed course by Bessel Van der Kolk, as well as completing Level 1 of Gottman training. He also has specialized training in treating anxiety and identifying suicidal ideation.

William's practice is tailored to support a specific range of individuals, ensuring he can provide the most effective care. He prefers to work with older teens, young adults, and adults. While he has experience in helping parents regulate child behavior, his primary focus is on individuals who present with internalizing issues like anxiety and depression, or adjustment-based issues.

He is particularly effective with clients who are engaged in the therapeutic process and are open to exploring different approaches. To ensure the best possible therapeutic fit, William has thoughtfully identified areas where his expertise is limited, and he does not feel comfortable working with clients who present with psychotic issues, strong personality disorders (such as narcissistic or borderline), or intensive neurocognitive issues.

It can be difficult to ask for help, but nobody can do everything on their own. Nemetria is a psychologist that received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She has a passion for working with adults experiencing low self-esteem, boundary problems, communication difficulties, difficulty adapting to new changes, trauma, anxiety, and depression. She collaborates with her clients using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy along with other therapeutic approaches while taking a culturally sensitive and strengths-based approach to ensure you have a therapeutic experience tailored to you. She welcomes clients who identify as women, provided their needs align with her expertise. Her interests include listening to audiobooks, watching movies, and playing games with loved ones.

Branden works with individuals, families and couples of all ages who are looking to meet goals and tackle issues that may be holding one back from feeling peace and content. He works with clients who are looking for additional support with depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and overuse of alcohol.

Branden shares with his clients that he considers his sessions to be like going to the mechanic; the client knows what one is coming in for, and he’s there to help guide one towards the skills and habits that can make life’s transitions run smoothly.

Laid back, and easy going, Branden likes to laugh and have fun while in sessions. He has worked in diverse settings in the mental health field for the past 10 years, and has worked with Forward Counseling as an intern before receiving his master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.
