Alexis Aguilar
Intern - Supervised
Education: I am a dedicated professional currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Counseling
Psychology from Chaminade University, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy. A graduate of
Mililani High School, I completed my undergraduate studies at SUNY Cortland, earning a Bachelor of
Science in Biology with a minor in Anthropology.
Experience: After their undergraduate studies, I embarked on a career in Ocean and Marine Education,
where I gained hands-on experience in animal husbandry, underwater photography, and scuba diving.
While this career was fulfilling in many ways, financial instability led me to transition into the
construction industry. Over seven years, I advanced from an administrative assistant to roles such as
field coordinator and project engineer. Despite the financial security provided by this career, a pivotal
moment of introspection led to the realization that my true passion lay in helping others. This led my
career to psychology, working with adolescents and adults in their own lifelong journey.
Belief: Driven by a belief that the only constant in life is change, I am committed to lifelong learning,
growth, and personal improvement. This philosophy fuels my curiosity about diverse religions and
spiritualities, and my dedication to remaining open and flexible to all perspectives.
Approach: In my therapeutic approach, Solution-Focused and Internal Family Systems (IFS) models
resonate deeply with me, emphasizing the power of language and addressing the internal conflicts
within individuals. I believe that through small, intentional steps, lasting and meaningful change can be
achieved.
Clients: I am a passionate advocate for LGBTQIA+ individuals and practice culturally sensitive,
trauma-informed care. I am committed to supporting a diverse range of clients, offering counseling
services in English, and fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
