I had a good therapist for 3 sessions and unfortunately, she had to leave the area for family reasons. I met for the first time with my new therapist and it went well, so all is good. So far, Thriveworks has been wonderful !

I have been seeing a therapist via Thriveworks every other week for several months and I couldn't be happier. The intake form was easy to fill out and somehow managed to put me with someone who works perfectly with me. She works at my pace, she understands and works towards our goals, and she helps me to see things more clearly as we process the issues at hand. She never 'tells me' what the issue is or how to solve but instead she leads me there so I can see it on my own as that is much more effective. I was very nervous about online therapy but after this experience with Kristen, I would recommend it to everyone, regardless of the severity of their issues. Kristen is a true professional and can ebb and flow as I am ready to process things. She has been a game changer for me, my family, and my colleagues.

Mr Sachs has been outstanding with his handling of our sessions. Personally, I believe that therapy/counseling is truly a personal experience and the therapist needs to be matched to the patient as much as the patient with the therapist. I feel like he was a perfect fit for what we needed with our sessions.

I had heard stories from friends and acquaintances about their therapists and counselors treating them wrongly. But am I glad to say that Howard did not live up to those expectations. Instead of being judgmental and disrespectful, he was kind, understanding and gave practical advice to take my problems head on.

Kathy Hope is certainly committed to following Jesus Christ and is grounded in her beliefs and knowledge of the Bible. She offers wise counsel based on these beliefs, but is nonjudgmental and attentive to listening to others with compassion, understanding and care. She is thoughtful and wise in her counsel. She can be counted on to be trustworthy and ethical.

Kathleen Horn was so understanding and non-judgmental. She was really nice to work with and had a way of making me look at and think about things differently. She worked with me on coping skills and changing my thoughts so I could change behaviors and feel better. She helped me through a tough time and now I feel a lot less depressed and anxious. I would go to her again. Thank you for all of your help!

Experience effective therapy with a counselor or therapist in

We all have challenging days. Maybe on the way to work this morning, someone cut you off in traffic and made you run a few minutes late. Or maybe your child’s school nurse called to let you know they’re sick and now you have to drop what you’re doing to pick them up. Maybe you and your partner got into a massive argument during dinner, and now there’s a cold spot between you in bed.

It’s when these bad days turn into bad weeks or months that it becomes a problem. Stress, conflicts, and complicated emotions come and go. However, if they’re taking over your life and putting too much strain on you daily, it might be time to look for some much-needed guidance and support. Talking to a mental health professional could really benefit you.

If everything was perfect, you would never learn, and you would never grow.” – Beyoncé
