“My therapist referred me to Alex Gard after I experienced a traumatic event which left me lethargic, depressed and highly anxious. With Alex’s guidance, I embarked upon a post traumatic journey which helped me to bring out my true, energetic, life-affirming self. An avowed caregiver for others, for the first time, I was finally learning to care about myself. Through Alex’s compassionate and attentive counseling, I have been uncovering my own path and determining my own joyful journey. In an ironic twist of fate, I am facing my greatest challenge yet, the concurrent illnesses of my sister and husband- my cherished support team. With Alex’s help I am better able to cope with the stress of caring for them, while making sure I remember that I still matter. Alex is the conduit that connects me to my better self.”

“Alex has a compassionate and gentle manner. Our sessions helped me to see the pathway in a very dark forest. She provided appropriate guidance to facilitate my healing. Alex’s approach helped me to better understand the patterns I found myself stuck in, and helped me to create healthier ways of engaging with others. Her approach was perfect for me.”
-Client rebuilding her life post-divorce
“When life brought me to what felt like my rock bottom, friends and family suggested I find a therapist. As a medical professional, I often recommend therapy to my patients, but had never experienced its immense benefits myself until I found Thrive Therapy. From our first session, Alex helped me to reframe this period of transition and together we developed a plan to focus on positivity, mindfulness, and coping strategies. As our sessions progressed, I felt myself blossoming as an individual– no longer bound by the “should have” and “could have” pressures placed on me by society. Alex seamlessly guided me through this rough patch in my life, and for that I am truly grateful I found her at Thrive Therapy!”
