About Us

Owner & Founder: 

Alexia Turenne, OTR/L

Hi there! My name is Alexia Turenne-my students know me as Ms. Lexi. As the owner and founder of Move to Thrive Therapy, PLLC, I bring years of experience working as a school-based travel occupational therapist to the Austin, Texas community. Through this experience, I have gained a deep understanding of the diverse needs of children and their families from an array of cultural backgrounds. Deciding to bridge the gap between a child's two most important environments, I founded Move to Thrive with the goal of building relationships with families around the Austin community to provide occupational therapy services to children in their homes. 

I believe that the most effective therapy takes place in the environment where a child feels most safe and secure. In a home-based setting, I can take into account your child's strengths, needs, unique routines, family dynamics, and environment. Home-based therapy allows for collaboration alongside parents and caregivers to provide support and education on how to promote their child's development and progress outside of therapy sessions. 

Move to Thrive therapy sessions are play-based, designed to be fun and engaging, while also targeting specific therapy goals. As a nationally board certified and state licensed occupational therapist, I am regularly furthering my expertise through evidence-based research, professional conferences, community events, and mentorship to ensure all children that I work with receive the best possible care. Move to Thrive strives to create a warm and welcoming environment for all children and their families. Every child has the potential to thrive!
