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!

Person-centered therapy FAQs
What is person-centered therapy (PCT)?
PCT is a humanistic approach to counseling developed by Carl Rogers. It emphasizes the therapist’s empathetic understanding, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness to create a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment.
How does PCT work?
PCT focuses on the client’s subjective experiences, feelings, and perspectives. The therapist provides a safe and empathetic space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions, guiding them toward greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth.
What issues can PCT address?
PCT can be used to address a wide range of personal, relational, and emotional issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship conflicts, and existential concerns. It is suitable for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
What are some key principles of PCT?
Key principles of PCT include unconditional positive regard (acceptance and respect for the client), empathy (understanding and reflecting the client’s feelings), and congruence (genuineness and transparency from the therapist).
Is PCT directive or non-directive?
PCT is primarily non-directive, meaning that the therapist does not impose advice, interpretations, or solutions onto the client. Instead, the therapist facilitates the client’s self-exploration and growth through active listening, reflection, and empathetic understanding.
How long does PCT take?
The duration of PCT varies depending on the client’s goals, progress, and needs. Some clients may experience significant insights and changes in a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term or intermittent support.
