Associate Marriage & Family Therapist

My name is Cortni Alexander-Lewis, and I am now part of the My Niche Therapy Team as a (AMFT) Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I began my mental health career in the United States Navy, where I initiated a successful peer counseling program called Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions, focused on addressing suicide, drug abuse, and mental health issues among young Sailors. I received awards for this program and witnessed a significant decrease in DUI incidents. Subsequently, I joined the Department of Defense as a Confidential Victims Advocate, supporting military members in crisis situations such as domestic violence and sexual assault. I created programs and worked closely with the NCIS to assist victims throughout their legal process. Recognizing my passion for mental health, I pursued further education, obtaining an Associate’s Degree in Communication and a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from Western Washington University. 

During this time, I also worked as a campus liaison for disabled Veterans, connecting them with resources and providing crisis intervention. Later, I pursued my Master’s Degree at the University of San Diego, where I completed clinical rotations in an Eating Disorders Center and as a Trauma Therapist for victims of domestic violence. After graduating, I served as a Confidential Victims Advocate at California State University of San Bernardino, supporting victims of sexual misconduct, domestic violence, and stalking during the student conduct process. I then worked at Kaiser Permanente as a lifespan therapist, providing comprehensive care to individuals of all ages. I am dedicated to my work as a therapist and remain passionate about making a positive impact in people’s lives.
