Lexi Matthesen

Lexi is a graduate student at Missouri Baptist University pursuing a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She is a former professional ballet dancer and is a current yoga teacher who has a specialty in eating disorder informed yoga training. Lexi has years of experience working at eating disorder treatment centers at the residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care with adults and teens assisting clients with their treatment and meal support and leading yoga therapy groups.

She has a special interest in working with clients with eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression and trauma. Lexi offers a genuine and calm approach that allows for a safe and non-judgmental space for adults and teens.

Eating disorders are complex and body image can cause significant distress. Anxiety and depression can feel very isolating and hopeless. It’s never too late to seek help. I want to empower you and would be honored to walk alongside you because you do not have to do this journey alone. There is always hope. I don’t believe that you have to want to get better, but you do have to choose to do something different.
