See what our patients are saying about Alex Baxter

I can't say enough about Alex as practitioner. She is kind, empathetic, and truly cares about finding a solution to your problems. She takes the time to thoroughly listen, ask the right questions, and research which medication or treatment plan would be best. She suggested testing that helped me quite a bit with finding the right plan. I have seen many psychiatric doctors over the years, but she is by far my favorite. I feel hopeful that she will help me achieve my goals.

I love this place! MSN Alexandra Baxter is outstanding! She makes herself available when needed, she listens and make a positive connection with her clients, and she has demonstrated that she cares. When I communicate with A. Baxter, I feel an emotional attachment in a professional way. Alexandra Baxter is someone who should be recognized as someone who is knowledgeable about their practice and is concerned about the well-being of others. Thank you!

Alexandra is a rare case of an expert technical psychiatrist and an expert communicator. She never makes me feel misunderstood, wrong, or broken. She takes the time to get to know me to better track my symptoms to ensure the medication plan is actually working - not just sending prescriptions out into the ether but actually ensuring I improve month by month. Thank you for giving me my life back!

I have had nothing but great experiences with LifeStance. My previous office gave me the run around constantly and it would take a miracle to actually communicate with my provider. LifeStance has been amazing to work with, especially with my provider Alex. She’s hands-down the best out there.
