My experience with my therapy and therapist has been excellent because she suggests different techniques that I could to relax and control my anxiety. She helps me get through tough times and helped me find a psychiatrist to get back on an anxiety medication that wouldn’t do any harm. So I’m really with all the help I been getting from Thriveworks!

My experience with Mr. Capone was 100% therapeutic I believe we made a connection the first day with his calming demeanor and his quick wit. He really made me feel I could speak about anything. He was a true professional. I would recommend him to anyone I cared about and even the people I didn’t care about.

She listened and provided great coping techniques.
Darren Mar 2026Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★★★
My therapist listens and asks which coping skills I applied or would apply. Then we discuss if they worked and how am I with the results Then he teaches additional applications . I am better at creating and maintaining boundaries. However, it's a work in progress. I am also doing better at going outside. Still do not like crowds or close contact with people. e.g. elevators. So far my therapist is innovative, receptive and always prepared to work with all my varying challenges.
