My name is Dr. Alexis Exum. I am a clinical psychologist and the founder of Clarity Rose Mental Health and Wellness Center, PLLC. I see patients ages 13 to 25 years old. I received my doctoral degree from the University of Kansas. I did my internship (residency) and fellowship at Children’s National Hospital (CNH) in Washington, DC.

Often we wait until we have exhausted every measure before we seek professional help. You can start on your journey to healing, reconciliation, peace, and joy today. I believe that in times of adversity and struggle, we have the greatest potential for growth. It is often hard to see clearly how the difficulties we face will lead to positive changes, so instead we lose our way and get stuck in places of frustration, despair, and resentment. The change process is a journey-sometimes long and at times short. It is a process that gives us the opportunity to discover new ways of approaching our circumstances.
