Alexis M. Trexler, MSN, CPNP-PC, PMHS

I am a certified pediatric nurse practitioner (CPNP) and pediatric mental health specialist (PMHS) specializing in adolescent medicine. My goal is to empower patients to feel their best by encouraging them to make informed medical decisions that suit their individual needs. I strive to create a safe space for adolescents and young adults to share their concerns and ask questions.

Since childhood, I have been passionate about helping others. I want patients and families to know that I am here to meet them where they are and assist in any way I can. I love helping teenagers discover who they are and supporting them in pursuing their dreams. My hope is for all adolescents to have five trusted adults they can turn to with their questions or concerns, and I aim to be one of those trusted adults in their lives.

I was honored to receive the inaugural Early Advanced Practice Career Award from the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners in 2023. Additionally, I was awarded the Excellence in Nursing Community Award by Pittsburgh Magazine in 2021.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes my husband, our son and our two beloved rescue dogs—a Chihuahua named Alex and a Pitbull named Favre.
