About me

Hi! My name is Alix and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (IL) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (MA). After graduating from Northwestern University with a degree in Journalism, I worked for several years in the creative field. At the start of the pandemic I decided to switch things up and pursue a MSW at the University of Chicago, and during my master’s program I interned at Oak Park Behavioral Medicine and at Lurie Children’s Hospital on the GI floor. Following graduation, I returned to OPBMed and worked there for 3 years, providing mental health services to clients with chronic illnesses. In 2025 I created Road Back Therapy, where I continue to provide short-term therapy to people with chronic illnesses.

I am licensed in MA and IL and accept BCBS, UHC and out-of-pocket clients in those states. If you are outside of those states please contact me for options!
