Frayde Yudkowsky
Meet Frayde Yudkowsky, LSW, LMSW, CTP
Founder of THRIVE! Mental Health
Therapist • Educator • Advocate • Community Activist • System • Fashionista
Hi!! I’m Frayde Yudkowsky — and yes, I wear a lot of hats. Literally and figuratively.
I’m a licensed therapist in NY, NJ, and AZ, a Certified Trauma Professional, the proud founder of THRIVE! Mental Health, and a lifelong advocate for healing, honesty, and radical compassion.
I’m also a polyfragmented system living with DID, and that lived experience is my badge of honor. It’s the heartbeat behind everything I do.
My Work in the World
Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, valued, and safe to be who they really are. That calling has taken me around the world — from the U.S. to Australia and back again — and into nearly every corner of the mental health field:
Psych hospitals
Rehabs, PHPs, IOPs, and outpatient centers
Alternative high schools, wilderness programs, sober homes
In-home counseling and nonprofit leadership
I’ve founded and directed several organizations, helped build others from the ground up, and always stayed rooted in one thing: people first.
Ready to help other Systems heal and THRIVE, I founded THRIVE! Mental Health — a private therapy practice based in New Jersey that supports clients in New Jersey, New York, and Arizona.
I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults — offering individual therapy, groups, and creative modalities that meet people where they are.
My specialty? Working with systems who live with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and OSDD.
Together, we explore who’s who inside, learn how each part is trying to protect, connect, or survive, and gently build internal communication rooted in curiosity and compassion.
Groups I Facilitate:
• DID/OSDD Support Group
• Creative Expression Therapy Group
• Chronic Pain Support Group
• Chronic Illness/Disability Support Group
• Sand Tray Therapy Group
• MHP Support Group
• [And more coming soon…]
Why I Do This
Because I know what it’s like to be on both sides of the therapy room.
Because systems deserve to be supported, not pathologized.
Because healing happens when we’re held — not fixed.
Whether you’re here as a client, a colleague, a fellow traveler, or just curious — I’m so glad you found your way to THRIVE!
Here, we see you. All of you.

Under Ms. Alexander’s leadership in the Landlord Tenant Department, the firm represents local, national corporate and individual landlords. Representation includes non-payment cases, "for-cause” cases (e.g. habitability claims, security deposits, lease violations), lease drafting and statutory compliance.

She is also well versed in rent control laws, affordable housing requirements and what is necessary for capital surcharge applications.

She handles community association loan applications when associations secure loans or lines of credit.
Ms. Alexander also assists communities in rule making and drafting amendments to promote community living.

She recently secured significant long-term commercial leases for a landlord with properties in Jersey City, Hoboken and Morristown. Additionally, she negotiated a municipal service agreement for a condominium client increasing their ability to have more snow clearing and lighting, while arranging for the town to take over trash removal.
Additionally, Ms. Alexander successfully handles over 100 evictions per month (Griffin Alexander, PC handles over approximately 300 evictions per month in total). She was recently successful in having residents not in compliance with 55 and older requirements vacate a unit in a condominium complex.
