My therapist Justin is a lifesaver - truly. Ive been through some tough times while seeing him and he always knows exactly what to say to reframe my perspective and get me through my hardest moments. He gives me tools I can use when he's not around to help me navigate life, and its so obvious the moment you meet him that he truly cares about about his patients, and it shows through his work. I would take a bullet for that man because he has saved my life, probably on multiple occasions, so returning the favor would be the least I could do. You've got one of those really special employees that don't come around very often - i hope you do everything in your power to keep him as happy as he keeps his patience. Thank you for everything, Justin and Thriveworks.

I adore Doreen. She has helped me so much in the past and is so empathetic and understanding yet gives me information I may not necessarily want to hear, but need to hear. She is a Godsend to me.

I've been with Doreen a few years now and I've enjoyed each session very much. She's a wonderful therapist and I can't imagine working through life's journey with anyone else but her. She's direct and to the point, which is something I was looking for.
