About
As a therapist who has participated in therapy myself, I know how important it is to find a provider you connect with and feel truly seen by. I specialize in seeing the person in the room as a fully unique human being and in working with them to untangle the challenges they’re facing so they can grow into their fullest potential.
As a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 4 years of experience, I've worked in a variety of settings where I’ve helped people navigate a range of issues including trauma, anxiety, relational conflict, and depression. From an intensive outpatient program to a major medical hospital, I’ve sat with people on some of the worst days of their lives, accompanying them through immense grief and loss, chronic stress, vicarious trauma, and major life transitions. I work with preteens to older adults using a flexible, integrative approach that weaves together evidence-based practices with each client’s individual needs and preferences.
I earned my master’s in social work from the University of Tennessee. I use tools like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, but above all my priority is to show up as just another human in the room, navigating this hard, messy, beautiful life alongside my clients.
In our work together, I will sit with you in your pain, your confusion, your anger, or whatever you’re bringing into the space, and help you be with it, make sense of it, and ultimately, transform it. Therapy can be hard. Life is hard. And yet here you are, because you know there’s something better waiting for you. Let’s find out what it is.

I feel I will be able to help a variety of individuals achieve their goals through therapy because of the experience I bring through years of work and personal life experiences I have gone through on my own or with my family.
Hello, I am Robert Kirby, a clinical social worker. I've worked as a clinician in the mental health field since 2001 and became a licensed clinician in 2003. Over the years, I've worked as a clinical social worker (therapist) in medical care practices, in in-patient programs for drug rehab and psychiatric care, and as a therapist for elderly clients in nursing homes, as well as with families whose loved ones are in hospice care. I believe everyone has the ability to achieve their goals with the right help and the willingness to work at it. Taking that first step toward change is the hardest step to make.
When choosing a therapist, think about what you're looking for. I challenge you to think in new ways, like asking questions about your questions or playing devil's advocate. If you're up for a challenge, I'll support your work toward your goals. Each client connects differently, so I use varied techniques in session and homework to help therapy succeed.
Working with me will bring you the success you want, as long as you're doing the work needed too. No success is achieved without hard work. I look forward to being your guiding hand as you move through the process of your therapeutic work.

As a queer, neurodivergent person myself, I am passionate about creating a warm, affirming space where people can feel genuinely understood, heal from trauma, and embrace their authentic selves.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC/S) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with experience working in community mental health, residential treatment, and private practice. I work with older teens and adults navigating PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the impact of systemic stressors.
My clinical approach is grounded in person-centered care, enhanced by EMDR and somatic interventions for mind-body healing. I view clients as experts of their own lives and work collaboratively toward their goals. I specialize in trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and neurodiversity-affirming care, prioritizing safety, authenticity, and trust.
It takes strength to seek support, and I respect that deeply. You do not have to navigate life's challenges alone, and when ready, I welcome the opportunity to begin that work together.

I know how hard it can be to carry pain for years without support, so I strive to offer a space where you can finally feel understood, safe, and not alone in your healing.
I am a licensed professional counselor associate with a background in clinical mental health counseling and experience working with individuals, couples, and adolescents. I support clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. My clients often seek greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and healthier coping strategies, and I work collaboratively to help them build resilience and create meaningful, lasting change.
I use a compassionate, client-centered approach tailored to each individual, integrating evidence-based techniques to support growth and healing. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and crisis support, helping clients build insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in a safe, supportive space.
You don't have to navigate this alone. I'm here to meet you where you are, with understanding and support, as you move toward the life you want to create. When you're ready, I invite you to take the next step and begin your journey toward healing and growth.

As a queer nonbinary person with lived experience of trauma, I bring an authentic understanding of intersectionality and approach each client as a whole person, considering the many environments and systems that shape their lives through a person-in-environment perspective.
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice with 3 years of experience supporting queer and gender-diverse clients, trauma survivors, and neurodivergent individuals. I specialize in helping clients feel more authentic, build healthy habits, and heal in ways that honor their unique identities. I aim to create a safe, affirming, collaborative environment where clients can explore challenges, discover strengths, and develop greater self-understanding.
I have aMaster’s in Social Work from the University of South Carolina. My approach is trauma- and queer-informed, and person-centered. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, polyvagal theory, and eclectic methods with elements of art therapy. I also incorporate my love of games and “nerdy” interests to promote connection and self-awareness.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I strive to make the process feel safe and supportive. My goal is to help clients feel seen, accepted, and empowered as they work toward healing and growth. When you’re ready, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward greater self-acceptance and well-being.

I'm Burt, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Supervisor Candidate, and Registered Play Therapist Candidate. I specialize in working with children, teens, and families with a passion for play therapy, neurodivergence-affirming care, ADHD, trauma, anxiety, grief, and helping families strengthen relationships. I use play, creativity, connection, and evidence-informed therapeutic approaches to help clients feel safe enough to explore what's underneath the surface. I'm also a mom and a business owner, and I understand that life can be beautifully messy. The heart of my work is connection with people and professional relationships.
I want therapy to be practical and compassionate—tailored to people in front of me. Not diagnosis or checklist. I care about creating a space where children feel understood, parents feel supported and families understand one another. I specialize in Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Child Centered Therapy.
Resilience doesn't mean nothing hard happens. It means developing tools and support to move through hard things without doing it alone. Whether you're a parent, teenager carrying more, family navigating transition, or child whose behavior communicates what they can't say, there is a place. You don't need it. Just be willing to start. I'm honored to meet you.

In Greenville, your cost depends on whether you use insurance or pay out of pocket. With insurance, most patients pay a copay between $0 and $55 per session. If you’re self-pay, rates vary by state—typically $200 to $240 for your first therapy session and $160 to $195 for follow-ups, or $300 to $375 for an initial psychiatry session and $210 to $300 for follow-ups. Contact our Greenville office or visit our pricing page to learn more.
Yes, Thriveworks Greenville accepts insurance to help cover services, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and psychiatry. Couples and family therapy aren’t always covered the same way, since some plans only cover sessions considered medically necessary.
We’ll verify your insurance and estimate your out-of-pocket cost for you before your first session, but it’s still worth confirming your specific benefits with your insurer, especially if your plan requires pre-authorization (advance approval from your insurer before certain treatments are covered).
Fit matters more than almost anything else in therapy. Research consistently shows the relationship between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether treatment actually works, no matter their approach. Start by thinking about what you want help with, then browse provider profiles in Greenville and filter by specialty, insurance, and availability to find someone who feels right for you. If your first session doesn’t click, no problem. You can switch providers anytime, no fees, no hassle.
All three support mental health in different ways. A therapist provides talk therapy to help you work through challenges; a psychologist also provides therapy, but their doctoral training lets them do psychological testing and formal evaluations; a psychiatrist is a medical provider who can prescribe medication.
Thriveworks Greenville offers therapy and psychiatry together, so you can get the right type of care—or a combination—in one place. For more detail, see our straightforward guide to mental health care professionals.
Most patients at Thriveworks Greenville see a provider within six days. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends. Book online or call our Greenville office to find the soonest session with a therapist or psychiatric provider.
Yes. Psychiatric providers at Thriveworks Greenville can prescribe and manage medication, and many patients pair that with talk therapy from a separate provider. Our team coordinates the two together.
Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. Your therapist will ask what brought you in, talk through your history and goals, and start shaping a plan for care. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with—the first session is a conversation, not a test. Want more detail? Here’s exactly what to expect, step by step.
Yes. Thriveworks Greenville offers both in-person sessions at our local office and online (telehealth) sessions, so you can choose what’s most convenient and switch between the two as your needs change.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
