Our Team
Alexis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor, retired doula, and mother to many, navigating the messy, imperfect world right alongside the people she supports. She specializes in trauma, perinatal mental health, neurodivergence, identity shifts, and the unraveling/rebuilding that tends to happen somewhere between raising kids, healing yourself, and realizing rest is the most productive thing you can do.
She earned her undergraduate degree in Child & Family Studies from Louisiana State University and her graduate degree from the University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work. Her career has evolved alongside her own lived experiences — traumatic births, late-diagnosed ADHD, parenting neurodivergent children, perimenopause, and the ongoing realization that adulthood is wildly unhinged.
While Alexis began her work focused heavily on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, many of the clients who find her now are deep in the trenches of parenting, relationships, nervous system exhaustion, school advocacy battles, neurotype discoveries (their kids’ and their own), or simply trying to figure out how to exist as an actual person underneath everyone else’s needs.
In addition to seeing therapy clients part-time, Alexis has discovered one of her favorite roles is supervising and mentoring newer social workers as they grow into their own voices, values, and clinical identities. Supporting baby therapists as they learn to trust themselves and navigate this work with both skill and humanity has become one of the most meaningful parts of her career.
Whether she’s speaking at conferences, teaching professionals, supervising clinicians, or sitting with clients in the messiest parts of being human, Alexis brings honesty, humor, lived experience, and a fierce commitment to helping people feel seen, heard and valued.
Courtney L. Butts, LCSW-S, RYT-200
Courtney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Doula based in Dallas, Texas. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Science in Social Work before building a career centered around trauma, perinatal mental health, sex and intimacy, and embodied healing.
Courtney became interested in birth work following the birth of her son, when she began to more deeply explore the intersection of trauma, the body, pregnancy, and postpartum. Birth work allowed her to bring together two things she feels deeply passionate about: supporting trauma survivors and walking alongside people through the profound transition into parenthood.
As the founder of Soulfully Rooted Wellness, a group therapy practice in Dallas, Texas, Courtney brings an integrative approach that weaves together somatic movement, nervous system education, parts-informed therapy, and embodied practices to support healing, self-leadership, and deeper connection to self. Her work also extends into sensual yoga and practices that invite people to explore pleasure, desire, self-expression, and body trust in ways that feel safe, empowering, and grounded in consent.
Whether in clinical or educational spaces, Courtney is committed to creating environments where curiosity, compassionate awareness, and authenticity guide the healing process. Her work centers on helping individuals reconnect with their bodies, build emotional resilience, and develop greater trust in themselves and their internal experiences.
Who We Are
Courtney and Alexis met in 2010 when working together as counselors at a domestic violence agency in Dallas, TX. They spent almost 5 years together providing counseling to adolescents and young adults victimized by violence, and teaching dating violence, sexual assault and bullying prevention to students. After becoming parents, they were both inspired to shift their focus to serving new parents and were especially passionate about building awareness on the unique needs of survivor parents. As mental health professionals and birth workers with a background serving survivors, they bring a unique perspective on how to better support parents carrying trauma through the reproductive years.
