I think it's taken a while for Sue to "get" me but I'm finding that as she does, our sessions are getting more and more helpful. I understand that it does take a while for two people to get to know each other especially in a therapy session.

Esther is the best! I learn so much from her and also feel like I am able to share my unfiltered thoughts and she can help me unpack and navigate how I am feeling. I wish there was a way I could send a “thank you” to Esther - gift card or flowers or something else to show my gratitude.

Thriveworks as a tool to find a provider is fantastic. Virtual therapy is not for everyone and was a hurtle for me. Knowing if there are in person providers would be a great addition.
