Lexy Lovell(She/Her/Hers)

Lexy Lovell, LCSW specializes in trauma-informed care for a wide age range of adults who are struggling with self-esteem, parenting, loss, and life transitions.

She has helped adults in their 20’s and early 30’s navigating the true beginning of their adult lives who feel overwhelmed by choices and competition in NYC. Lexy works with parents ages 35-50 who are dealing with the stress of their child applying to high school and college. Lexy knows the next stage of the “empty nest” and works with parents in their 50’s and 60’s struggling with finding a sense of purpose, acknowledging the very real need to re-examine and re-connect. She works with seniors ages 50-70+ who are overwhelmed by responsibilities of caretaking as well as those who have fought with their siblings or who were on the outs with their parents at the time of the parent’s death.

Lexy encourages her clients to give themselves permission to voice how they want to live now, even if it's outside of convention. Every client is asked to consider how they would finish the sentence: "If only I could ___________."

In addition to her private practice in Park Slope, she works as a supervisor and psychotherapist at Brooklyn Center for Families in Crisis in Flatbush. Lexy earned her MSW from New York University and BA in History from Yale University, cum laude. Her career has included empowering immigrants seeking political asylum (New Sanctuary Coalition); amplifying voices through documentary film of breast cancer survivors (Bare Breasted Against Breast Cancer), veterans ("The Good Soldier"), and teenagers adrift in the Great Depression ("Riding the Rails"); answering a suicide hotline (Samaritans); planning for parole (South Forty Corporation at Bayview); providing training for agencies serving clients living with serious mental illness (Fountain House).
