"Although I prescribe psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and ADHD medications, it does not mean that I believe medications will help everyone or solve all of your problems. After your initial evaluation, I will give you reliable information about whether a medication is likely to help, its potential risks, and the alternative treatments. I may strongly recommend a medication, suggest it as a possible option, or conclude that medication is not likely to help you at all. We will discuss your lifestyle, such as diet, exercise, alcohol/substance use, and stress-management strategies"

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.
