Honestly, I don't think often about Thriveworks — but that's probably a good thing. I looked for and found Rachel through the EMDRIA site, and it's Rachel that I would recommend to friends, not Thriveworks. She is a fantastic therapist who has significantly affected my life.. . I appreciate how streamlined and simple you make it for Rachel and me to connect and maintain our therapeutic relationship. That is a huge feat that goes unsung and unrecognized except when things go haywire. Thank you for all that you do! That's why I gave you a 10 in the first question, even though I would never likely recommend the brand to a friend.

Ms. Gadishaw has helped me grow tremendously as a person. She has helped me learn skills to control my anxiety and depression. Even on days where I would normally hide away in bed, I have gained techniques and tools to keep me functional and going. I am much happier after meeting her. I am forever grateful.

I was resistant my whole life to starting therapy, I thought I could and should power through all things on my own because I am strong. I finally broke down last year and started, after making and canceling a few appointments. Lorna is exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it. I am so thankful that I started therapy when I did because a few months after I had a huge loss in my life that I don't know how I would have managed otherwise. I love the online platform and virtual appointments, I love the choice in providers. I took a long time reading info or bios on providers and finally started with Lorna and truly think she is the best person for me, my personality, and all my perks and quirks.
