David E. Jenkins, Psy.D.
Clinical Psychologist

As part of my role with one of the largest counseling organizations in the world, I travel around the country speaking to counselors, therapists, and psychologists about various mental health issues. And nowhere else have I seen a counseling agency grow the way Thrive Boston Counseling has. I know that the client is placed as first priority. Perhaps that’s why it has been so successful. Professionalism and quality are her highest virtues. Whenever anyone from the northeast asks for help, Thrive is my first referral source.

Dr. Joshua Straub

I have worked in a professional environment with Dr. Anthony Centore, the Director of Thrive Counseling since 2004. Anthony is extremely professional, talented, and caring, and has built Thrive Counseling on these principles. I would highly recommend Thrive to anyone in Boston looking for excellent care.

Dr. George Ohlschlager, Chairman
AACC Law and Ethics Committee

…And speaking of Thrive, I truly believe it embodies the highest ethical standards, the most sound and time-tested counseling practices, and, perhaps most importantly, a natural, warm disposition with clients as the primary focus. As a therapist, I’d feel more than comfortable using Thrive for the counseling needs of myself or my family.

Ryan Neace, Therapist and Life Coach, Lynchburg, VA

After speaking with Dr. Centore I was impressed that Thrive Boston Counseling and Life Coaching offers a variety of services. “We will get back in touch with you!” Thrive’s website promises, and Dr Centore did in a timely and professional manner.  I was impressed by the range of services offered from psychological evaluations to individual therapy and life coaching. Because the psychologist, counselors, and social workers on staff at Thrive have a variety of specialties, Thrive can offer services for many issues presented by adults, families, and children. As a professional I would recommended this practice.

Kai Long, Speech Pathologist, Cambridge, MA

The dramatic success of Thrive Counseling is a tribute to its ardent commitment to excellence and to making a difference in people’s lives. Founder and Director Dr. Anthony Centore and his staff of experienced clinicians offer a powerful combination of integrity, knowledge, and expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend Thrive Counseling to anybody seeking counseling from caring, dedicated professionals.

Jory H. Fisher, JD

I have known the management of Thrive Counseling since 2003, and I have first-hand seen their commitment to excellence and sound clinical work. In particular, I have been impressed with their sensitivity to the clients’ diverse cultural and faith backgrounds. If I lived in the Boston area Thrive Boston and Life Coaching would be where I would go for assistance.

David Appleby, Ph.D.

Therapy is most effective when all the intricacies of human behavior and emotion are addressed. As a physician with experience in both neurology and psychiatry, I can appreciate the deep understanding of the human mind that is displayed by the staff of Thrive. Their approach to counseling is both scientific and compassionate. Thrive’s founder, Dr. Centore, has extensive experience in both medicine and psychology. This lends him a uniquely priviledged perspective on developing effective techniques to address the conflicts faced by a wide variety of individuals.

Lauren Velander, M.D.

As a family law attorney, I know that family-related legal matters involve complex life challenges and transitions.  During these changes, it is important to have the support and guidance of an experienced and qualified counselor.  I highly recommend Dr. Anthony Centore and his caring staff at Thrive.  They are renowned for helping clients take a proactive approach to life’s greatest challenges , focusing on moving forward towards a healthy future.

Thriveworks is a professional clinical organization that helped me build my practice by attracting and booking new clients. Thriveworks booked new clients I would not have had on my own, and the business I obtained through Thriveworks was profitable overall. I highly recommend Thriveworks for therapists who want help building their practices.

Testimonials Specifically for Thriveworks Medical Credentialing

Thrive helped make the credentialing process as painless and easy as it could be.  The Thrive staff was helpful, efficient, and caring throughout what could have been a difficult and lengthy process.  I’d use Thrive again without hesitation should I need additional credentialing support.

Steven Graubard, Ph.D.

I really appreciated Thriveworks taking on the arduous task of credentialing. As my caseload was building, I could focus on my clients instead of the credentialing process. I have a full caseload and am confident that it will stay that way thanks to Thriveworks!

Deborah Brigandi, LMHC

When it came time in my career to get credentialed, Thriveworks was a big help in simplifying and expediting the process. My queries were answered promptly and glitches resolved quickly thanks to the organization’s experience in the industry.

Russell Wolf, LMHC

I am delighted that a friend referred me to Thriveworks to handle my Medical Credentialing. They have done a terrific job getting me on insurance panels. This leaves me more time to concentrate on other aspects of my private therapy practice.

A Letter from a Satisfied Credentialing Customer (Alex Rossman, LICSW)

Hello Anthony,

I recently hired your company to help with the painful part of credentialing my license with many of the insurance companies.  I believe that most therapists dread the paneling process with the insurances (yes, it is true, insurance phobias do exist)!  All kidding aside, it is a blessing to have a company like Thriveworks, which takes the burden and the aggravation of having the insurance companies accept therapists as providers. It is like being hazed at a Fraternity/Sorority, except that insurance companies don’t get expelled when caught!  As a clinician of 22 years and still loving it (most of the time), it has always bothered me that clinicians are not taking insurances from their clients.  I often wonder why a professional,  who is there to help others, creates more stress on the client.  So, when I saw your company, I was so excited and relieved that someone else could do the hard part and I could focus on what I needed to do, which is to help my clients.

My email is not just a thank you note regarding your company.  It is more about Whitney Bade, who has been a very important person in the process.  I have talked many times with Whitney, who has been delightful every time I have asked her a question or just muttered the word “Huh”?  She has been great at communicating the information that I need via telephone or email.  I know that this is part of Whitney’s job, however, she has the patience of a saint when she is working with me. I am a very nice person, but talking to me about the maze of the insurance process makes me feel like I need a therapist!  She is able to explain the process to where I understand what is needed from me and what to expect next.  She is a gift to your company and I wanted you to know it.  If you could let her know that you received this email and possibly put it in her HR file, that would be great.

Thank you so much for your company, seriously!  It is worth every penny (which are many pennies) that I have spent so that I don’t have to worry about “what do I need to do next and who do I talk to?”  I hope you realize that this is a serious email.  I do use humor a lot, but it is not meant to take away from my praise of the company and especially Whitney!

Thank you again!

Alex Rossman, LICSW
