I like the Dr. once we got the connection figured out. The connection process could use some work. Also I was asked to go to my documents in my profile and I never did find that

Michele Mitchell not only saved my life, she helped me start living it again. The level of effort, sincerity, empathy, and professionalism she has demonstrated through our sessions goes way beyond what one should expect another human being to give, therapist or otherwise.

My therapist is amazing but there are some things that can be improved with Thriveworks specifically. The way you access the site is confusing and annoying with the verification.
