I know Eliot personally and as a peer in the counseling field. I could not speak more highly of her ability to be a kind, compassionate, and intelligent counselor. Eliot is dedicated to her client’s overall wellness and is sure to address your concerns and presenting problems. She has experience working with a diverse background of clients and any client would be very lucky to have her as their counselor!

I enjoy the services but my fiancé is looking for a married counselor because he thinks, that person would benefit us better due to the experiences theyve had and been through.

I strongly recommend you search elsewhere for therapist services. Thriveworks continued billing me after service was discontinued. I received no therapy services for two months, but they continued charging me their membership fee. When I contacted them to remedy the error, they offered no help and seem to not abide by good faith. If I could give zero stars, I would.Edit: I originally posted this after reaching out to Thriveworks via email. I am was extremely disappointed and horrified at this type of response from a mental health institution.

Easy to schedule sessions. Therapist listens and explains well. He suggested an app to help me with my situation. He has an easy-going style but is also realistic and direct. I’m so happy to have found Thriveworks!

I know Rachel Sims personally and I can say with full confidence that she is truly passionate about her work. She takes her oath as a counselor very seriously. She never makes you feel judged or shameful, very understanding. Her competence is awe-inspiring. It’s refreshing to see people who work with the community that sincerely care about the people they work with.

The initial phone call was informative and flexible while my therapist gives me space to process my life decisions. There was an issue with a cancellation fee but my therapist was able to clarify the reasoning for me. Hope the agency can do better with communication towards clients once fees change.

I can’t say enough positive things about Theiveworks. The offices are comfortable and the billing is easy and affordable. And my therapist has enabled me to make great strides with my mental health. He strikes the perfect balance between listening to my stories and facilitating my growth and coping skills. I would highly recommend Thriveworks to anyone who is serious about improving their mental health

I know Rachel Sims personally as she acquired her undergraduate and graduate degrees in order to be a counselor. Rachel has always been professional, kind, gentle, and wise when counseling her friends - a practice I am sure she brings into her workplace. I would definitely recommend Rachel Sims as a Thriveworks counselor.

I know Rachel Sims, one of the counselors here, personally; for the past 10 years, Ive watched her complete her studies and develop her career. She is attentive, a great listener, and dedicated to consistently learning and growing as a therapist. With her, youll feel comfortable processing any stress or worries you may have.

I highly recommend working with Rachel Sims at Thriveworks. I was privileged to work with Rachael and have a huge respect for her clinical knowledge and her compassionate, caring approach with her clients. She is an incredibly effective Therapist with a true passion for her work. Her clients will undoubtedly thrive in their work with her.

Review №17

As much as I like my counselor my disgust is with the billing department and their lack of care they have for their clients. After submitting my insurance information I was told by Thriveworks that my appointments would be free. A month and a half later I was told that wasn’t the case and had a statement of hundreds of dollars that I had no idea that I owed because of false information given to me by them. As compensation I was told they would refund me certain charges they put on my bank account. They charged me so much that they overdrafted my account by hundreds of dollars. It’s been 4 months and I am still fighting with them to refund me the money they told me that they would refund me and have not. The billing department does not want to respond to emails and one of the last conversations I had with someone from the billing dept they compared these session overdraft charges to when her Netflix overdrafts her account but she loves Netflix and won’t get rid of it. What level of professionalism is this? Please do yourself a favor and find a company that is going to care about your mental health, not be the cause of more.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my Thriveworks experience. Alexis (my therapist) is very engaged, nonjudgmental, and genuine. She helps me out my irrational thoughts in perspective. I always finish our sessions feeling as though a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I am thankful I found Thriveworks!

Review №23

I havent started actual therapy, but when you go to schedule, you go to a call center first, and after calling at least twenty people, this one guy on the other line, based out of the Blacksburg office, by the name of CHICAGO, was extremely helpful. No one else in the mental health spectrum of phone navigation calls helped too much. This dude ruled...tysm.

Amanda Pitchko is an outstanding LPC and I highly recommend her to anyone. I have been seeking guidance from Amanda for close to two years consistently. She has helped me immensely and I am forever grateful for her. Amanda is absolutely wonderful and amazing at what she does.

Review №26

Where do I start?! Alright so I was determined to get the help I need. Between COVID, racial tension, bad decisions in men, school, and work I was struggling. I tried out 2 therapists at the same time. Maurice Denton from thrive works and another. In my mind I’m like let the best therapist win! May the odds be ever in your favor. After about the 2nd session it was clear that I was going to move forward with Maurice. one of the things that really reassured me was how verbally intentional he is. He states how he’s going to give you his best and how invested he is in your success. I can’t say why but it made such an impact on me. Know this though, therapy is tough like really TOUGH. It’s also a process. I’m grateful for Maurice!If you are looking, give him a try. You won’t regret it!

Review №27

This was my first time seeking therapy for myself and I was very afraid to get someone I didn’t connect with or understood me.I got paired with Amanda Pitchko because I didn’t have a preference when I decided to get counseling thru thrive works but customer service was very considerate to book me with someone compatible (so grateful for them). I was able to see her profile after booking my first appointment and knew she was a keeper!

It took me a long time to gather up the strength to make this call. I dont have insurance and let them know it would be self pay. She gave me the prices, I said I couldnt commit to everything they asked for...and she said okay and hung up on me. I immediately broke down. Im grateful that today was a good day and Im determined to get help somewhere. But I didnt expect to be treated like that by a place Im trying to go for depression counseling.

Jeanette has a down-to-earth, welcoming and open hearted approach to help build a therapeutic relationship with you. She has an uncommon capacity to listen and provide feedback in a nonjudgmental and nonreactive way, which helps to establish a genuine foundation of trust. She has a sincere and natural way of making you feel comfortable and safe to help you share issues that would otherwise be difficult to share. Her compassion is also met with a deep insight and clarity that is usually communicated in an honest no nonsense way. She rarely sugar coats her feedback and is straight to the point in helping to illuminate things for you. If one is honest and sincere in their self-discovery and willing to take the necessary steps to heal and recover, Jeanette will not waste your time.

Was recommended Thriveworks by a friend whos been a client for a few years now, and I have had a great experience here. I went through one counselor prior to meeting my current one - and I have been with her for about a year now. Staff is helpful and having direct access to your therapist is definitely something great.

I have found Robert to be professional, which provides reassurance, but more importantly easy to talk with. He created a safe, calm environment where I felt free from judgment and able to share thoughts/feelings that I might not have disclosed in other settings.

Robert has a professional yet warm demeanor. I have found him to be very adept at listening and at helping me view the things I feel and think in a different light. He is never pushy, but does guide me toward progress. He has helped me see my own strengths and capabilities when at times I cannot. My time with him has been invaluable and I think youll find the same.

I worked with Lavonda for a little over 4 years. I feel so blessed to have had those years side by side with her. Lavonda has a strong passion for authentic relationships and standing by others on their healing journey. She has a way about her where individuals naturally feel safe and can truly open up their hearts to her. Anyone who works with her is truly lucky to have her apart of their journey!

Review №39

My stars are for Robert Kuehl. He is a patient and kind therapist who easily demonstrates his natural empathy for others in a therapeutic setting. Robert is well-trained and experienced but anyone can get training and experience. What he brings to the table is something more personal. He can connect with you and really align with what is best for you rather than directing treatment in his direction. I would recommend Robert to anyone especially those who are a bit apprehensive about getting therapy.

Ive been seeing Jeanette for a few months now and I cant say Ive ever had a counselor quite like her. Ive been in and out of therapy for the past 13 years and never once have I genuinely looked forward to my sessions until I came to thriveworks and started working with Jeanette. All the anxiety I had about making that first appointment and getting back on track was eased by how great, friendly and accommodating this group is.

Review №53

A friend came to Thriveworks with symptoms of sever depression and anxiety. Thriveworks matched her with a marriage counselor who tried to dissuade my friend from using medication, saying that it would help the physical symptoms of anxiety and depression (stomach problems, etc.) but shes never seen it actually help anyone. Luckily my friend disregarded this advice, went to a real professional, and got actual help. Thriveworks assured me that every member of their network is versed in anxiety and depression and so they matched her accordingly. I have absolutely nothing against marriage counseling but to think that that qualifies you to see someone with severe depression is irresponsible and dangerous. I would hope they would take patient matching more seriously because it is the only piece of the therapy process they own.*EDIT* Responding to the owners response: This is exactly the thought process thats so dangerous and dismissive. Our marriage counselors arent JUST marriage counselors! they were also required to pass a test about mental health knowledge! So by your logic, any patient that contacts you should match with any clinician. So what do you do again?I honestly cant believe this is how you approach helping your patients. You pawn someone with legitimate symptoms off on a marriage counselor and then justify it by saying that every clinician is trained for everything. So what are your views about specializing in therapy/medicine? Is someone whos worked their entire life on mental health and suicidal ideology JUST as qualified as someone who focuses on couples mediation?You have peoples lives in your hands; they trust you to match them with the most qualified and relevant therapist possible, and you dont do that.

I have over a decade of experience with Bonnie - helping people does not start and end just in therapy sessions, she is also very active in public speaking and teaching.

This past May was my first session with Joe Alvayero at Thriveworks. Ive never seen a therapist before and was hesitant to begin the process. But I had experienced a string of pretty rough events that were becoming increasingly difficult for me to process and accept, so I decided to take the plunge.Im undoubtedly a better person today than I was that first day I walked into Thriveworks. And Im so grateful to have Joe as my therapist. Hes provided me the safe place Ive needed, free of judgement, and filled with incredible patience. Hes helped me feel like I can trust again, both others and myself, and has offered support and insight that have proven invaluable.Im stronger since that first day I walked into Thriveworks and, for the first time in a long time, I believe in my ability to make positive and palpable changes in my life. Im thankful to Joe for helping me build a healthier me.

Thriveworks is a total scam. There are high fees for everything on top of your normal appointment costs. $100+ just to join. If you miss an appointment they charge you $120 even if they didnt send the typical reminder and even if your normal payment is half that. Too much stress worrying about fees- try anywhere else.
