Dr. Alexandra Steinbrueck

At ThriveWell, our therapy for professionals centers on a key goal: reducing stress to enhance your life. We equip you with valuable tools to infuse ease into your daily routine, carve out personal and family time, and amplify satisfaction in your work sphere. Furthermore, we acknowledge that success-driven individuals seek help for various reasons beyond stress. Your determination and focus have fueled your achievements, yet success doesn't shield you from challenges like depression, relationship strains, and other issues prompting psychotherapy. Apart from common concerns, professionals face unique challenges such as sleep problems, feeling unworthy of success, imposter syndrome, and fear of loss. With compassion as our core principle, we provide professionals a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space for self-exploration. We prioritize trust and collaboration to fuel self-awareness and empowerment. Our approach combines evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with a humanistic perspective, recognizing the complexities of burnout and trauma. Our focus goes beyond symptom relief, delving into root causes. We're dedicated to continuous professional development, staying current in evidenced-based treatment. Our mission is to aid professionals in recovering from burnout and trauma, guiding them toward thriving in all aspects of life.
