Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I am a licensed trauma therapist and I provide teletherapy to individuals in New York, Texas, and Maryland. My specialty is developing distress tolerance, or making stress feel less overwhelming. I work with clients aged 5-18, 18+ as individuals and/or families. Stress exists as a necessary part of the human experience. For some, this experience has been more dangerous, disruptive, or overwhelming. In our sessions, I’ll provide the opportunity for you to reconnect with a sense of safety to move into a fuller life. I practice from a combination of therapy models. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as the basis for skill building. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a guide for regulating the nervous system. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) builds a deeper connection to our authentic goals.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life. As a Caribbean American, I help men and women heal from trauma and toxic relationships by providing a safe, judgment free zone where you can learn new coping strategies to live your best life. I utilize cognitive-behavioral interventions and a psychodynamic and systems-based perspective that focuses on providing you with the tools to do the work to heal yourself. Are you ready to do the work? I am currently accepting new clients for 2024. Let us collaborate to improve your emotional intelligence, build your confidence, and maintain healthy relationships with others so you can experience as much joy and peace as possible.

Hey there. Before I further go on about me, I need to take a moment to surface something about you. Bear with me.... It's important to note you made it to this point, which is the point of acknowledging a struggle, seeing the importance of caring for yourself, and building the courage to reach out knowing growth and improvement are on the horizon. For those who I have had the opportunity to work with, I am humbled by the experience to be part of the journey and chapters of their life. I'd be honored to be part of yours. I have worked with a lot of people from many walks of life, with different life experiences. No two experiences are ever the same. You are the expert in the room when it comes to your life, your perspective, and your experience of it. It is my responsibility as well as privilege to understand how you have experienced your life -- no assumptions and no judgments. Together, we will set therapy goals. Through the process, you are the driver, and I will help with the navigation.

Hello, my name is Alexis Gade and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I strive to offer clients a safe and compassionate environment to explore barriers they might be facing that are preventing them from living to their full potential as well as identifying strengths to achieve their goals. I utilize strategies from various modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure/Response Prevention, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to create a tailored, individualized approach to therapy. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety and OCD. Through therapy, I work with clients to help them accept their anxieties rather than fight against them in order to live life according to their values. Through acceptance and mindfulness, clients can work on getting unstuck from their thoughts and be more present in their daily life. Another area of focus of mine is helping women and mothers during challenging life transitions, including the prenatal and postpartum periods. While these periods can include joy and excitement, it can also be a time of vulnerability and change. I am a believer that all changes, even positive changes, can be challenging and stressful. I’m here to walk you through these changes and help explore the many different facets of motherhood.  Additionally, I have experience working with military families, including working with service members, spouses, and children. I help families manage stress and anxiety related to navigating the deployment cycle. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey in a welcoming, non judgmental environment. I am currently accepting new clients.
