About Nicolle Alex, M.A, LMFT

Hi, my name is Nicolle Alex, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the co-founder of EleMental Health CA, a licensed residential treatment center for women located in Thousand Oaks, California.

With over a decade of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families, I create a safe, nurturing environment where healing, emotional growth, and self-worth flourish.

Whether you’re here seeking individual therapy, couples counseling, or a higher level of care, I am dedicated to helping both men and women find peace of mind, personal fulfillment, and a deeper sense of purpose. My approach is tailored to help you navigate challenges, build resilience, and reclaim your mental and emotional well-being at every stage of life.

I specialize in:

  • Trauma Recovery & PTSD Therapy – Helping women heal from past trauma, emotional wounds, and distressing life experiences.

  • Anxiety & Compulsive Worry Management – Providing tools to manage stress, chronic worry, panic attacks, and overwhelm.

  • Relationship Therapy – Fostering healthy connections with partners, family, and self.

  • Life Transitions & Personal Growth – Supporting you through career changes, parenthood, divorce, and midlife transitions.

I am guided by the belief that our greatest lessons often emerge from our darkest moments—and that with the right support, healing and transformation are possible.

Areas of Focus

  • Anxiety & Stress Management

  • Depression & Mood Disorders

  • Midlife, Menopause & Hormonal Transitions

  • Relationship & Couples Counseling

  • Trauma Recovery & PTSD Therapy

My Approach to Therapy – Compassionate, Collaborative, and Empowering

In my practice, I take a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, creating a safe space where you can openly explore your challenges. Together, we’ll work to:

  • Identify and overcome obstacles

  • Build resilience and develop healthy coping strategies

  • Foster emotional growth and self-awareness

  • Create lasting, meaningful change in your life

I believe that genuine connection and trust are the foundations of successful therapy. That’s why I offer a free initial phone consultation—an opportunity for us to connect, discuss your needs, and ensure we’re the right fit for one another.

Advocating for Mental Health Awareness

Beyond my therapy practice, I am a passionate advocate for mental health awareness. I frequently speak at conferences, contribute to mental health publications, and engage in community initiatives that promote mental well-being for women.

HELPING YOU LIVE AUTHENTICALLY &
BUILD CONNECTIONS THAT TRULY MATTER.

Why I Do This Work

Therapy is more than just a profession for me—it’s a calling. My passion for helping women heal, grow, and rediscover their inner strength comes from a deep belief that we all have the power to transform our lives.

In this video, I share my journey, my philosophy, and why I’m committed to providing trauma-informed, compassionate therapy for women navigating anxiety, trauma recovery, relationship challenges, and personal growth.
