I’ve always had a great experience with Thriveworks from finding providers, booking appointments, changing appointments and getting setup with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable doctors.

Vanessa Cumber has been wonderful in helping me navigate grief I still experience 12 years after my husband’s death, issues in my complicated new relationship, and a cancer diagnosis for this mate. I needed help, and she’s been there for me. I actually did recommend her to a friend, and although my friend ended up with a different Thriveworks therapist because of scheduling conflicts, I’d certainly recommend Vanessa (and Thriveworks in general) to anyone needing assistance in navigating the complications life sends our way.

I love Thriveworks! I appreciate all the reminders for my upcoming appointments! It really helps!. My Provider, Vanessa Cumber, is outstanding. She remembers the things I've shared and follows up to see how they went. She cares greatly about my progress with everything I am working on, and is truly happy for me when I can use my tools and manage my anxiety better. Vanessa's empathy and humor are such a wonderful gift to me! She is so smart and has such wisdom, too!
