As I said before! Desiree is absolutely amazing. It's like she knows exactly what I need at the right time. I couldn't have found a better therapist.

I have never enjoyed working with a therapist more than I do with Desiree. I don’t feel like I need to adhere to this idea of what I should do. But instead, we jointly work together to figure out what works best for me personally. I feel like she has a fantastic personal approach that I personally appreciate a lot.

I absolutely love my sessions with Desiree Paddock. I've been seeing her weekly for a little over a year now. Her sessions have changed my life in so many ways, and they continue to do just that. She is very easy to talk to and I feel that she really does understand me on so many levels. I would recommend her to anybody and everybody looking for some help. She is very professional with a personal touch.

I love how Desiree is great at sharing her own thoughts when I ask her professional opinion. And she’s not afraid to remind me of the little things I know I should be doing more of.

Tina Chavis was amazing, she gave me hope that I’ve not had for years. I’m so sorry I put off making the appointment for so long, I feel like I’m already in the process of getting my life back. I’ve already referred Thriveworks to a family member who’ll be calling for an appointment tomorrow.

From the very first day we met, we instantly clicked. Desiree listened, she never made me feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about went I went through. She's very adaptable and knowledgeable. I'm so glad she is on this journey with me.

I love how Desiree is a stranger does not know anyone who I tell her about, and she does not always agree with my rash decisions. Desiree is a great confidant and I would recommend her to anyone.
