Amy Alexander is Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Refuge Center for Counseling in Franklin, Tennessee, where the Center serves more than 30,000 counseling sessions to over 4,000 clients annually.
As a nonprofit, Amy is always wrestling with how to retain quality people on her team. And for her, it's the culture they create day-to-day that retains the best people.
Amy encourages and supports culture through her ‘Three C’s approach’ of connection, character, and continuous growth within the organization.
“Our team has to be the first priority and Client Services has to be the second priority. Because if we're not healthy, if we're not in a good place, if we're not taking care of ourselves and one another, then the quality of our work is not going to be what it should be. And our clients deserve us to be at our best.”
- Amy Alexander
She has a very unique way of framing leadership and culture and values within her organization by modeling a ‘servant first perspective’.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
