Welcome!
I’m Dr. Alexis Schmiedigen, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and the founder of Resilient Mind Integrative Therapy, PLLC. I created this practice to offer high-quality, compassionate, and personalized therapy to women in Illinois, Massachusetts, and Psypact states. With more than 15 years of clinical experience, I’m dedicated to helping women heal and thrive—finding greater peace, connection, resilience and authenticity in their lives.
My Story
As the daughter of immigrants from Latin America, I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in Brazilian Portuguese. My cultural background deeply informs my work and fuels my passion for providing multicultural, inclusive, and anti-oppressive therapy where every part of your identity is welcomed and respected. As a proud cancer survivor and mother of two, I carry a deep appreciation for fostering resilience, vulnerability, and connection—values I bring into the therapy space.
​​
I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from William James College, a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Boston College, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Boston University.
​
My professional training includes a Fellowship at the Cambridge Eating Disorder Center and Internships at Boston Behavioral Medicine and Brigham & Women’s Hospital. I also completed practicum training at the Boston Public Health Commission’s Entre Familia: Women & Family Substance Abuse Services, and pursued a Doctoral Concentration in Latino Mental Health.​​​​ I am currently completing an Advanced Clinical Training Program on Complex Trauma and Dissociation at the Chicago Center for Integration and Healing.
​
In 2014 I joined the world of private practice in Boston where I discovered a love for working one-on-one with clients to support meaningful change. In 2018, I relocated to the suburbs of Chicago, where I’ve continued my therapy practice, now exclusively offering online therapy.
​
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to the possibility of working together and supporting you on your journey toward healing, inner peace, connection, authenticity, and resilience.
