Conscious Connections Therapy- Where you don’t have to hold everything together by yourself.
Life has a way of piling on— responsibilities, expectations, old patterns, the pressure to be fine even when you’re anything but. Most people come here because they’re tired of doing it all alone. They want clarity, relief, and support that actually meets them where they are.
At Conscious Connections Therapy, that’s exactly what we offer.
We’re a growing group practice grounded in real connection, honest conversations, and evidenced-based care. Our Associate Social Worker’s (ASWs), under the guidance and supervision of our founder, Lynzie Genel, LCSW, provide thoughtful, attuned therapy for people who are ready for change— even if they’re not sure where to start yet.
You bring the pieces of your story.
We help you make sense of them.
What We Help With
Most of our clients come to therapy because:
They feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stretched too thin
They’re navigating identity shifts (parenthood, partnership, career, or life transitions)
They’re working through relationship patterns that no longer serve them
They’re healing from trauma, burnout, or family dynamics that still echo today
They’re craving clarity, boundaries, or emotional steadiness
They just want to feel more like themselves again
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.
How Our Practice Works
Your therapist is an ASW on our team—compassionate, hard-working clinicians who offer high-quality, affordable therapy. Every ASW receives ongoing supervision and support from our LCSW founder to ensure you’re receiving informed, ethical, effective care.
Our approach is relational, trauma-aware, and grounded in practical tools you can use in everyday life—not just in session.
You’ll always feel supported, never judged, and fully seen as a whole person.
Our therapy approach blends:
Attachment-based therapy
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
Trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate interventions for teens
Values clarification + identity exploration
Family systems and communication work
What Therapy With Us Feels Like
Steady. Attuned. Real.
We won’t rush you.
We won’t push you to fit a mold.
And we won’t leave you guessing about what comes next.
You’ll get a therapist who listens deeply, offers tools that make sense for your life, and helps you build the emotional capacity to move through whatever comes your way.
This is a space where you can exhale, reflect, and start creating the changes you’ve been craving.
Like many of you, I wear a lot of hats. I’m a mom, wife, sister, breast cancer survivor, and someone who believes deeply that healing starts with connection. I’ve worked in social work for more than a decade—beginning in child protective services, then transitioning into school social work after having my son. Two years ago, I opened my private practice, and today I’m building CCT into a group practice that reflects the heart of what I value most: real, warm, human support for clients and families.
Connection has always been my anchor. My mom passed away before I could remember her, and it was the love of my grandma, the steady, soul-deep support of my sister, and the (slightly overprotective 😂) presence of my brother that shaped who I am.
Years later, I met the best guy ❤️—now my husband—and together we’re raising Paxton and Willow. When our kids were just 2 and 4, I was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer. It was my worst fear come to life. What carried me through it was my people—my army. The connections I’d built over my lifetime showed up with love, food, presence, humor, and hope. Their care saved me.
That experience deepened my belief in the power of relationships—how transformative it is to feel seen, supported, and held through life’s hardest moments. It’s the foundation of Conscious Connections Therapy.
Today, my work centers on supporting and supervising our Associate Social Workers as they provide meaningful, compassionate care to the teens, adults, and families we serve across California. My role is to guide, mentor, and nurture our team so they can show up fully for the clients who trust us with their stories.
CCT is my vision come to life: a place where clients feel understood, where therapists feel supported, and where connection leads the way.

Meet the Team
Our licensed clinicians and supervised Associate Clinical Social Workers (ASWs) bring extensive experience supporting adults, teens, parents, and families through meaningful emotional and relational challenges.
Kimberly Athie, ASW
Hello, my name is Kimberly Robertson, and I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker passionate about walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges. I bring experience from my work in child welfare and social services, where I supported youth, families, and communities through complex and often overwhelming circumstances. These experiences taught me the power of compassion, resilience, and the importance of meeting each person exactly where they are.
I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I value creating an inclusive, supportive space for clients from diverse backgrounds. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and rooted in the belief that healing happens through authentic connection.
I am especially passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and families, and I integrate approaches such as trauma-informed care, restorative practices, and social-emotional skill-building.
Outside of work, I am a wife and mother, and I understand firsthand the challenges of balancing personal and professional life. I bring this empathy into my practice, creating a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered.
Brigetta Alexander, ASW
Hi, I’m Brigetta Alexander an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW) passionate about supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges with compassion and empathy, cultural awareness, and a trauma-informed approach. I bring experience from a variety of clinical settings, including outpatient mental health, foster care, transitional housing, community-based programs, and corrections. I have provided services to children, teens, and adults navigating complex emotional, social, and systemic barriers.
My practice is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I have supported clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and family challenges. I’ve also worked alongside those involved in the foster care and justice systems, offering therapeutic support to help them navigate complex circumstances and build toward stability and healing.
Whether helping clients work through anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, or life transitions, I understand that healing looks different for everyone, and I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered, regardless of where they are in their journey. Healing happens in relationships and in environments that foster trust and dignity.
Outside of my clinical work, I believe in the power of balance and self-care. You’ll often find me at the gym, watching movies, cheering on my favorite sports teams, or spending quality time with my family. I believe that taking care of ourselves, mind, body, and soul, is essential not just for therapists but for everyone.
