Thriveworks is a low acuity mental health provider, which means we generally assist clients who are experiencing mental health symptoms that are categorized as ranging from mild to moderate.
Individuals who are currently experiencing severe mental health concerns or crises, have been recently hospitalized within the past 3 months due to mental health-related complications, are experiencing suicidal ideation, or who currently have severe substance use concerns are advised to seek mental health services from in-patient mental health care providers.

No, at Thriveworks we offer online psychiatry only. That means you can meet with your provider from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere else you have internet.
Medications may vary by state and provider. Thriveworks can prescribe anti-anxiety medications (such as Prazosin and Vistaril), anti-depressants (such as Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, etc.), mood stabilizers (such as Lamictal, Depakote, and Topamax), stimulant ADHD medications (such as Adderall, Concerta, Ritalin, and Vyvanse), non-stimulant ADHD medication (such as Strattera), and more.
If your prescribed medication is not working, or you are experiencing side effects that last beyond their adjustment time, talk with your provider to adjust your dosage or to find a new medication that works best for you. Don’t take more than the prescribed amount, and never switch medications without consulting with your psychiatric nurse practitioner.
No, taking medication is not a required part of psychiatric treatment. However, many psychiatric providers offer either limited psychotherapy treatment or medication management only, so it may be worth talking to your provider about whether psychiatric treatment or therapy would be right for you.
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.
Psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychiatrists both assess, diagnose, and prescribe medication. Psychiatric nurse practitioners complete a bachelor’s in nursing and a master’s and/or a doctorate in psychiatric care, while psychiatrists attend medical school and have specialized training in psychiatry.
At Thriveworks, our nurse practitioners practice under the supervision of board-certified psychiatrists. In some states, a nurse practitioner is able to practice independently, just like a psychiatrist.
Clients are required to reschedule or cancel their appointments at least 48 hours in advance. Failure to do so may result in a late cancellation fee of $135 under the following circumstances:
Cancelling or rescheduling within 48 hours of the appointment. Not showing up for the scheduled appointment. Being more than 10 minutes late for a 30-minute appointment or 15 minutes late for a 60-minute appointment, unless the session is resumed and care is delivered.
This policy is designed to provide clients with the flexibility to make last-minute changes when necessary.
