I first discovered thriveworks almost 2 years ago now and my therapist has helped me grow and unpack issues so well. I’ve been able to heal and create new ways to cope with their help and I feel very certain in saying that discovering thriveworks and my therapist has drastically improved not only my mental health, but my overall wellbeing.

Lydia is very attentive and concerned for my well being. She listens to what I have to say and takes that into account as she manages my health. We carefully review my medications and she regularly orders bloodwork to ensure my levels are ok. Other doctors have used the results of her testing and commended her diligence to monitor my health. I’m greatful to have been her patient for many years now.
