Thriveworks makes it so easy and convenient for me to be able to participate in talk therapy. With someone who has a very complicated work schedule and a busy lifestyle I never would've started therapy if it had not been for thriveworks openness, and flexibility. Also, my counselor must have been handpicked for me by God himself. She is very knowledgeable and very understanding of my issues!

Can you make a feature where I can set my therapist because having to school the list for her every week is really annoying. I just want to see her availability somewhere on my dashboard so that it's clear and easier to set me next appointment
