Amy Harvat, Founder, Practice Owner, LPC
Hi there! My name is Amy, and I have a passion for mental wellness. I strive to offer a non-judgmental approach to care. I don’t want anyone to feel ashamed for whatever is bringing them in the door. I welcome your stories, and I honor your strength. I believe that we do the best we can with what we have at the time, and I’m here to help you dismantle your shame. Together, we can lighten the load you carry. I want to help you make sense of your timeline, and offer compassion for the younger versions of yourself.
I developed Modern Thrive Counseling to help create a healing experience for those who are nervous to try therapy. I want you to feel encouraged to be your full self when you come to MTC. I offer a supportive style of therapy that will encourage you to grow from a place of nurturance and respect. I believe we heal when we can be with what we feel, and my commitment is to never shame or blame you for doing the best you could during a difficult time. My job is to help you turn towards yourself and offer self-compassion rather than self-criticism.
I specialize in: EMDR/Trauma-Informed Care, Acceptance Based Care, Anxiety, Perinatal Mental Health, Traumatic Birth/NICU, Relationship Concerns, Fertility Concerns, Postpartum Depression/Anxiety, Women’s Mental Health.
Victoria Fueger, PMHNP
Hello! I’m Victoria, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. I am passionate about offering support to individuals and couples as they navigate life's challenges.
My approach emphasizes the importance of establishing meaningful connections and fostering self-awareness. As part of this, I can also work with you to assess the potential benefits and risks of medication. It is important to me that you are an active collaborator in your care. Together, we can determine the most effective path for your specific needs. This may involve exploring how certain medical conditions may be impacting your mental health.
I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment that fosters personal growth and healing. My therapeutic approach encompasses various techniques, including psychodynamic and supportive psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and humanistic-existential solution-focused psychotherapy. Additionally, I am trained in stabilizing trauma and techniques to address dissociation, and I am trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be beneficial in processing adverse life experiences.
My specialization includes working with people of all ages. I love working with children and adolescents, adults, couples, the elderly, as well as those facing addiction-related issues. My goal is to provide a safe and understanding space for each person to receive the support they need to thrive.
My practice is grounded in the principles of deep witnessing and presence, reflected in the phrase "sawabona," meaning "I see you." If you are interested in exploring a working relationship with me, I welcome the opportunity to meet with you! I am currently accepting new clients and scheduling appointments for September 2024.
Alexis Gade, LPC
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.
I also love working with military families, especially spouses and children of service members. I am passionate about helping military families navigate various challenges with compassion. I have completed the Star Behavioral Health Providers training for military service members and families.
I look forward to working with you on your healing journey in a welcoming, non judgmental environment.
Alexis specializes is: Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviors and Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Perinatal Mental Health, Postpartum Depression/Anxiety, Life Transitions, Acceptance-Based Care, Trauma-Informed Care, Parenting Support, Military Family Support.

Welcome! My name is Jazmyn Parrett and I'm so excited to be one of Modern’s Thrive Counseling interns! I am so grateful to have the opportunity with this practice to continue my hands-on work as I work towards my goal as a future Licensed Professional Counselor.
In June 2025 I graduate with my master's in clinical Mental Health Counseling, from the university of The Chicago School in Illinois.

I am passionate about working with couples, teenagers, adolescents, children, and family dynamics. I look forward to connecting and creating a safe environment for you to explore more of yourself, while gaining the opportunity to get to know you more.
On a personal note, I enjoy anything outdoors such as camping, hiking and walks with my Mini golden doodle dog named Beau. In the fall and winter months I love cozying up with coffee and reading a good book!

Kelly Aldis, Intake and Benefits Coordinator
I am a born and raised Midwest girl. Best known as wife to my sweet husband, Matthew, and mom to my two miracle daughters! I love all things repurposed, decorating on a dime, garage sales, creating memories with my family, laughing, Fall, and most of all tradition. I previously worked as an Executive Assistant for over 20 years, until I landed my dream role of Mom (also known as chaos coordinator)! After 7 years solely dedicating my time and effort to my home and family, I embarked on a journey as a Virtual Assistant. My goal was to find something that I could pour into professionally while also maintaining a healthy work life balance. And man did I find that and MORE! In addition to my family, my faith is incredibly important to me. I strive to serve with my whole heart and make every situation better than I found it. The way I’m wired, has built a foundation of experience and a true love of helping people. I’m proud to have a suitcase full of knowledge, life skills and education, and I'm ready to travel with it to serve others. My role at Modern Thrive Counseling, as Intake and Benefits Coordinator, gives me an opportunity to bring together so many things I’m passionate about-helping people, the importance and beauty of being a voice and hand in someone’s darkness, organization, and all things administrative! I’m thrilled to be here and truly look forward to supporting this team and, you, as you find your strength!
