ABOUT ME

I’m Alexandria Green—speech-language pathologist, business owner, speaker, and neurodivergent advocate.

I’m the President and Executive Director of Green Family Therapies, a family-centered pediatric practice I founded in 2016 with a simple but firm belief: different brains deserve thoughtful, meaningful support—and so do the people who care for them.

My professional foundation began in 2014, when I earned my Master of Science in Communication Disorders from the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions. Before opening my own practice, I worked across schools, clinics, and hospital settings, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and supporting children and families in a wide range of environments. Those early years shaped how I approach care, leadership, and systems—with curiosity, flexibility, and respect for the whole person.

Like many neurodivergent professionals, my path hasn’t been linear. Early in my career, I experienced significant burnout in a field that often rewards perfectionism and constant output. For a long time, I didn’t yet understand how my own ADHD shaped the way I worked and led. Through experience, reflection, and more than a few missteps, I learned how to build systems that supported my brain instead of fighting it.

In 2024, a stroke at age 38 became a turning point—personally and professionally. It fundamentally changed how I think about leadership, capacity, and sustainability. It reinforced what I already knew to be true: success that comes at the expense of health, humanity, or support isn’t success at all.

Today, alongside my role at Green Family Therapies, my work centers on education, speaking, and advocacy. I’ve been invited to present through professional organizations including American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, contribute writing to The ASHA Leader, and participate in panels and conversations focused on neurodiversity, leadership, and building work that fits real lives.

I believe leaders are developed, not born. I believe neurodiversity is a strength. And I believe businesses, workplaces, and systems work better when they are designed with real humans in mind.
