My therapist has a sense of humor and I find this to be important for me personally. He is able to make me feel safe and heard as well as lets me be myself and jokes with me.

Thriveworks made it very easy to find a provider, make an appointment and all of the reminders that go along with it. I am so happy with my therapist, Kelly! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first started this, but came in with an open mind. Kelly listens and helps me to slow down and sort out all the parts of the things that are affecting me. I look forward to all of our sessions and the tools I’m learning are really helping me a lot.
