Shannon Clay is an absolute GEM! I've never know a "professional" who exuded an empathy and compassion for what they do as a profession, as Shannon does! She personifies an uncanny willingness to provide resources and a listening ear. She's never judgemental and gives the best advice! I am a better person for having met her. I pray she goes far in this business, especially in the climate we are living in nowadays!

I called to make an appointment for my daughter and Kenyata was SO friendly and helpful. She answered all of my questions and was so easy to talk to. Scheduling as a first-time patient is always so difficult, but this was so easy and accomodating. If the scale is 1-5, 5 being the best, I'd give my experience a 10!

I’ve been searching for the right fit. Had almost given up after 2 unsuccessful relationships with other counselors in the last year. Thriveworks makes scheduling easy, takes my insurance (Aetna), and offers quality, invested care. For the first time, I look forward to counseling sessions and feel so much better after! Hend Salah is helping me see things differently and get my life back on track.

I recommend Michael Beckham without reservation. He was both a colleague of mine and a supervisor and I've known him to be an outstanding, caring clinician. Michael is highly intelligent, warm, empathetic and effective. He has a great deal of experience and is beloved by his patients.

Dr Thompson provides great support and advice. She helped me through a rough time in my life and gave me the right kind of help when I needed it. I learned a ton about myself, cleaned up some past baggage that was weighing me down, and got my life back on track. I still use the skills she taught me in my relationships, at work, with my kids and I feel in control of my life. I’m not happy go lucky 100% of the time, but I’m much more relaxed and open and confident that I can handle whatever comes up. Big thanks to Dr Thompson!

When Dr Thompson announced she was opening a Thriveworks office in Newark, I was thrilled. Over the past 20 years, I have referred many clients to Dr Thompson and found her to be sensitive, caring, ethical, and highly skilled with a wide range of clients. She was able to connect with folks who’ve had difficulty finding a good fit with other clinicians, and she seemed to know just the right approach with some of my clients who’d tried therapy in the past, but didn’t really feel at ease. Her compassion, experience, and excellent clinical skills make her my first choice when referring out; I would send my own family members to Dr Thompson.

Experience effective therapy with a counselor or therapist in

As you know, we are all different. We have different needs, goals, aspirations, interests, hobbies, and priorities. This means that the equation for health and happiness can vary from person to person, too—one person might need more time with friends and family to feel happy and fulfilled; another person might need a busy or involved career to feel satisfied in life.

The mental health professionals at Thriveworks Delaware Counseling understand these differences and take them into consideration when they meet with a new client. Their first goal is to get to know you, including your needs and objectives for counseling. Then, they will design a personalized plan for your time in counseling. Their ultimate mission is to help you live a happy, successful life—whether that means helping you improve your relationships with your loved ones, better manage your work-life balance, work through a mental illness, or something else entirely.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment. I told them they didn’t understand life. –John Lennon

If you think that you’re capable of living a happier, more successful life, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Delaware Counseling. Our online counselors are more than happy to provide you with mental health help and support, of which can help you reach new heights. We offer both telephone counseling and video counseling—the choice is yours! To schedule your appointment, you can call us or book your session online.

Do I Need Counseling or Therapy? How Can It Help Me?

The Thriveworks Delaware Counseling team believes that anyone and everyone can benefit, in one way or another, from working with a mental health professional. Now, some people might have a dire need for mental health help, such as those who are experiencing symptoms of a mental illness like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Often, when it comes to these mental health conditions, treatment is required to manage one’s illness before it worsens. That said, there are plenty of other reasons to seek out mental health counseling or therapy. For example:

  • Relationship strife
  • Career stress
  • Painful emotions
  • Anger management
  • The loss of a loved one
  • Lack of professional or personal fulfillment
  • Breakup or separation

If you don’t relate to any of the above at the moment, that’s okay. That doesn’t mean that you can’t find value in counseling or therapy. The truth is that listing the many reasons someone might seek counseling is difficult because the possibilities are endless. Counselors, therapists, and psychologists are equipped to help their clients with a range of problems. Again, they will get to know you and your unique struggles, needs, goals. Then and only then will they design your treatment plan.

What Mental Health Services Are Offered at Thriveworks Delaware Counseling?

We are proud to offer a long list of mental health services at Thriveworks Delaware Counseling. Our providers can practice a wide range of therapies, as they have an impress set of skills as well as years of training and experience. We can offer the following:

Schedule an Appointment with Thriveworks Delaware Counseling

We are happy to get you scheduled for depression therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, or another form of counseling. To schedule your appointment, just call our office or book right from this website. Our online counselors are excited to start a relationship with you and work with you in telephone counseling or video counseling.

If you value or prefer that face-to-face feel of in-person counseling, video counseling might be the right online counseling option for you!

If you don’t have a preference, that’s okay too!

Again, we are ready to meet with you and help you make instrumental changes in your life that will lead greater happiness, success, and growth. We look forward to joining you on this important journey!
