I've already suggested Thriveworks to several friends. Both of my therapists have been excellent. Thriveworks is especially good at matching clients with therapists: both my Thriveworks counselors understood the overseas experience. Heike Z is doing a great job with me since she is empathetic as well as knowledgeable.

Danielle has been my therapist for almost a year. She's extremely well-versed in her field. I've been to other therapists that I've not felt comfortable with, quite the opposite about how I feel with Danielle. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I can say anything to Danielle and not feel intimidated. She's empathetic and very caring. I often tell her I appreciate her but I don't feel that's enough. She's seriously brought me out of depression with techniques for breathing with anxiety, taking care of myself and making myself a priority. I am beyond grateful for her.
