Both my therapy and psychiatrist are excellent, friendly and i feel comfortable and safe with them. I came to thriveworks because my previous therapist and psychiatrist were not that way.
Liliana Aug 2026Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★★☆
Apparently my appointment time was double booked. I was told I was not on the schedule at all. I clearly got the email to join the zoom call. Received a reminder the day before the zoom call. I felt very rushed and most of the time was spent trying to figure out how the problem happened and very little time talking about my problems. Meds were ordered and another appointment was scheduled for September 9th
