I am extremely happy with my therapist. Hopefully that is somewhat obvious as I have now been a patient of his/yours for a few years now. . Justin Michaud is fantastic, a true professional. . If he were to leave Thriveworks, unfortunately you'd probably lose me as a customer as I would not want to start over with someone new. . Take care of this provider he is a good one!

I enthusiastically recommend Justin to anyone seeking therapy. I was genuinely surprised by how effective Thriveworks has been for me, and Justin has been the cornerstone of that success. He brings a rare combination of intelligence, compassion, and adaptability to each session. His ability to truly listen, offer thoughtful insights, and meet me where I'm at—especially over Zoom—is impressive. I've worked with other therapists in the past, but none have made me feel as safe, understood, and empowered as Justin has. I'm truly grateful to have him in my corner. He's not just helping me through difficult times—he's helping me grow
