Beliefs That guide us

Thrive’s Philosophy

We believe, and know based on research, the most productive and healthy workplaces are those that practice emotionally intelligent leadership at all levels. Impactful leadership starts at the heart of the leader. The core of a successful leader is emotionally intelligent leadership.

Failing to master this core skill contributes to disconnect, disengagement, and costly mistakes. That’s why partnering with a behavioral leadership expert in executive coaching and workplace consulting is integral to the success of you, your people, and your business.

We help our clients align their behavior with core values empowering them to lead with integrity and inspire those around them. That way they can show up and do what they already know how to do, but better.

The Thrive West Difference: People Strategy Based on Proven Methods

We combine deep psychological insights with practical leadership skills and strategies to provide a tailored approach to executive coaching and leadership consulting. Leveraging neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and industrial/organizational science, we get to the mechanisms that drive lasting change. That’s the Thrive difference.

Our founder, Elizabeth Gentzkow, brings 15 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Executive Coach, offering a unique blend of therapeutic expertise and leadership development skills. We are committed to continuous learning and improvement, ensuring that our clients receive the most effective and up-to-date coaching and learning experiences.

Committed to Excellence With Measurable Results

We are dedicated to the success of our clients, measuring our impact through the use of empirically valid and reliable outcome measures and assessment tools. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to change what you don’t measure. We believe in pre, active, and post measurements to ensure we’re making progress and achieving results that matter most.

Your experience and investment matters. Executive Coaching and Leadership Development is an investment in yourself and your people that takes time, effort, and financial investment. Our process is transparent, ethical, and focused on results that last.

Get to Know Thrive

Thrive West Roots

Founded in 2018 on 23rd Ave. Portland, Oregon

Thrive West was founded in 2018 by Elizabeth Gentzkow, Executive Coach and Leadership Consultant who is passionate about bridging the gaps between psychological wellness, organizational effectiveness, and leadership.

Thrive West began in a brick and mortar office off 23rd street in Northwest Portland also offering mental health counseling and career coaching to professionals.


As demand grew, Elizabeth saw an opportunity to reach more professionals across the U.S. by meeting online, eventually leaving the use of an office a thing of the past.

Now Thrive West works with Professionals all over, meeting them at the comfort of their home or office. In-person services are still offered on site as requested.
