about

Lexi Michonski

Intern

Hello! I’m Lexi, and I’m a Master of Social Work student at UNCW. I grew up in a small town in Maine and moved here three years ago to pursue my graduate degree. Growing up, I learned how important it is to have support throughout life. I have experience working with clients who have been through interpersonal violence and have assisted them in navigating conflictual relationships. My favorite part of this work is celebrating client success stories, helping clients find their voice as individuals, and witnessing clients rediscovering their own power. My goal is to become a therapist who creates a safe environment where we can talk and explore challenging experiences. You can find me around the office at the front desk or shadowing clinicians during sessions.
