My provider really takes the time to hear what I have to say and not only listens to me and provides feedback, but also gives me support and guidance when I need it. She does an excellent job of putting things into perspective and giving me a different way of looking at things.

★★★★★
There are improvements that could be made to the UI/UX of the app itself which would make it more user friendly, but overall I'm very happy with the way Thriveworks is from a patient perspective. I could not imagine where I'd be without Melissa as my therapist! She. Is. Outstanding!!!!

★★★★★
I really appreciate how Melissa listens to me and how she helps me to understand how my brain and my emotions work.
Wren Mar 2026Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★★★
My provider always makes me feel seen and heard. Sometimes just having a space to vent is rare these days, but having someone spell out something that I didn't have words for is a wonderful feeling. I always feel better after a session.

★★☆☆☆
Melissa is an amazing therapist. She helps me to understand what it means to have ADHD, and she helps me learn how to live with it and to recover from trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. My life is better because of being in therapy with her.
Elizabeth Dec 2025Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★★★
I like the availability and ease of making appointments. Debora is always responsive to my emails and always kind. She has become a good friend and confidant in my life. I value her professional skills and insight and wouldn't be where I'm at today without her!

I have a lot life experience & she ask questions & I was able to get through a lot of my history.
Margeau Sep 2025Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★★★
Melissa listens and is affirming and kind. She also asks really good questions to help me process what is going on and get to the root of the issue. Her training in trauma has helped me understand my issues and how to process them, and her knowledge of ADHD, PTSD, and differential diagnoses has been invaluable in explaining my experiences and those of my family members.
