About Alexa Jaffe

Between work or school, relationships, family expectations, and the pressure to have it all figured out, anxiety and self-doubt can creep in fast — at any age. It’s easy to feel like you’re the only one struggling to keep up.

I’m Alexa Jaffe (she/her), a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) at Ellie Mental Health in Lincolnwood, IL, and I’m passionate about helping clients of all ages navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), inside a warm, supportive environment where clients feel safe to be themselves.

I believe healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. I work collaboratively with each client to build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and achieve meaningful, lasting growth — whether that growth is about managing anxious thoughts, navigating a big transition, or repairing a hard relationship.

My clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges for clients of all ages, using CBT and DBT as the foundation for building practical, lasting coping skills. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions to fit what works best for you and your family.

Outside of sessions, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, trying new restaurants, going for walks, and watching new TV shows.
If you or a family member are ready for a supportive space to build confidence and real coping tools, I’d welcome the opportunity to work with you. Reach out to Ellie Mental Health in Lincolnwood to schedule a session with Alexa, in-person or virtually.
