I am loving working with my therapist, Vanessa, from Thriveworks! She has such helpful insights and strategies for the challenges I face. She has such patience, as I try to learn and apply new concepts she shows me. She shows me ways of looking at past events in my life in a whole new way. It is exciting to feel some progress toward the positive, in my thought patterns, because of Vanessa’s gentle guidance. I am a very happy Thriveworks client!!!

I personally didn’t think therapy would work for me but I gave Thriveworks a shot and do not regret it! They truly know how to figure out the problem and will work with you to find multiple solutions. Everyone that works there is so nice, from the phone operators to the actual therapists. Don’t sit on the fence about your mental health!

Therapy has been a self care item on my list for a very long time... I have been avoiding the work as self reflection and honesty about yourself can be very hard. Brenda makes this process so easy! I am very happy I found her and Thriveworks. I have been doing the work and she makes it easy and heartfelt as we process through things in my life. Thank you!

Does Thriveworks offer online therapy?

Yes, we offer both in-person therapy and online therapy options, depending on your preference and needs.

What's the difference between therapy and psychiatry?

Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Psychiatry, led by medically-trained psychiatric providers, involves diagnoses and treats mental health conditions with medication.

Thriveworks offers you the option to receive psychiatry & therapy together, leading to better collaboration between your therapist and psychiatric nurse practitioner.

What's the cancellation policy?

Clients are required to reschedule or cancel their appointments at least 48 hours in advance. Failure to do so may result in a late cancellation fee of $135 under the following circumstances:

Cancelling or rescheduling within 48 hours of the appointment.
Not showing up for the scheduled appointment. Being more than 10 minutes late for a 30-minute appointment or 15 minutes late for a 60-minute appointment, unless the session is resumed and care is delivered.

This policy is designed to provide clients with the flexibility to make last-minute changes when necessary.
