We’re excited to announce that Thriveworks has opened two new clinics in Miami and St. Petersburg, Florida. These openings bring Thriveworks’ total Florida presence to 16 locations, reflecting our continued commitment to delivering high-quality, community-based mental health care throughout the state.

Addressing Florida’s Mental Health Crisis

Florida faces substantial mental health challenges, with nearly 2.9 million adults living with a mental health condition, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Even more concerning, 796,000 adults in Florida did not receive needed mental health care, with nearly half unable to get care due to cost. Additionally, over 6.3 million people in Florida live in communities that do not have enough mental health professionals, contributing to the state’s significant access challenges.

According to Mental Health America, Florida ranks 49th in the country when it comes to access to mental health care, highlighting one of the widest gaps between mental health needs and available services in the nation.

“Florida faces one of the widest gaps between mental health needs and access to care,” says Pedro Sam, regional clinic director for Thriveworks in Florida. “By opening two new clinics in Miami and St. Petersburg, we’re helping to bridge that gap. A greater physical presence will make it easier for people to connect with high-quality and compassionate care.”
