I feel very comfortable with my provider and feel like she understands the issues and concerns in my life. She listens and offers reassurance that my issues are manageable and or gives guidance on how to look at issues differently. I value the experience with her.

When receiving a link via text or email from Thriveworks to complete pre-session questionnaires, the links prompt a login. The login method is almost always to send a code to your email. It would be helpful to just be prompted for a username/password, so I don't have to see the email, click the link, open in external browser, go back to the email for the code, back to the browser to verify the code, THEN finally get to my questionnaire.

Christy listens. She pays attention. She offers insights I never thought of and points out successes that I view negatively. I really enjoy working with her and look forward to our next session every week.
