I have to say, text messages for reminders of an appointment have helped me with my ADHD. I think having features built in for certain Neuro Styles are SO helpful and wonderful for helping those process. Maybe even a Thriveworks app with specific support features. Like a check list a therapist can see on the fly. Or make a game out of building habits. Just resources to help certain people. Love it here though, and loving the changes I'm seeing! Evolving with technology is wonderful. It shows a sense of care and support that surpasses scientific standards that are dated.

Jamie is firm, fair, and friendly. She is a great listener, and she makes me feel seen and heard. There is a lot for us to get to, since I am new to therapy, but we cover something important every week. Eventually I know she will guide me through the events in my life that have lead me here. I appreciate the time she takes to prepare me for what is coming in my life.
