I am very grateful for the support I received from therapist Si Meng in addressing a difficult situation with my boss. Because of fear or negative consequences, I was only thinking about how to please the boss. With Si’s support, therapeutic manner, and coaching I was able to express BOTH what was important to me and what mattered to my boss. I didn’t realize that my needs were important, too. As a result, my relationship with the boss was much improved and we were able to arrive at a solution that truly worked for both of us. I really have learned a lot of useful skills and ways of thinking working with Si. I recommend her without any reservations.

I texted to cancel all appointments for my son, yet the counselor rescheduled another one after I had canceled them and I was charged $100. I had to wait for my refund, after calling several times and sending in screenshots of my text messages.Now the same thing has occurred yet again. I’ve asked to cancel my membership & was billed for another $40 fee weeks later.This is wrong & they should have better processes in place, especially when your paying a premium fee for exceptional service. What’s the most concerning is the fact that it took their management several days to contact me back about the issue. It should take 24-48 hours max to return a phone call, on an issue caused by Thriveworks staff.

I had the pleasure to meet Mrs. Shelia Lipscomb professionally a few years ago. My interactions with Shelia have been very positive and her personality is very welcoming. Mrs. Lipscomb has the ability to make others feel comfortable and strives to assist all in becoming the best version of themselves. Shelia will be a wonderful assest to your team.

I have worked closely with Kendall Douville for 6 years. She is one of the most dedicated workers I have ever worked with in my career. The compassion she shows not only for residents but her co workers is truly remarkable. She has a kind heart and is a wonderful listener. She puts others before herself always. I have met few people in my life as special as Kendall.

Shakeria is a dear friend I’ve known since college that I’ve watched grow into an amazing woman. She is an active listener with care in her eyes. She’s not nodding while thinking of what she will say next. You actually feel like you’re being nurtured when sharing deep feelings with her. She’s also open-minded with many different interests in life. She’s a number one candidate in my mind for a therapist because she is so welcoming to all different walks of life, and is capable of holding space for the variety of personalities there are in the world.

I am so grateful to have found Stephanie and Thriveworks. This is the first time that I have seen tangible progress working with a counselor. Stephanie is extremely kind, insightful and is clearly technically gifted. Her magic stems from her ability to listen closely, quickly assess the best approach for me and skillfully guide me to my own epiphany. Stephanie radiates authenticity and excels at building a personal connection with her clients. This work is so difficult but I am finally on the right path as a result of her empathy and expertise. Thank you so much, Stephanie!

I have known Kendall Douville, LCSW-C for over 3 years now, and worked with her over the last 2.5 years. She is a genuine and thoughtful individual who knows what to say and when to say it. Kendall is very dedicated to her work and the people she serves. An amazing person all around who will provide you with an honest and wholesome perspective.

Dr. D is so amazing! I was out of practice for two years and so worried about picking things back up after baby and not being in school. I asked her to take me through a quick refresher course to brush up, but she exceeded my expectations. She’s so easy to talk to and there’s never a question that’s “too dumb” to ask. I couldn’t recommend a more sound professional that meets you where you are.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sandy in her capacity as a school social worker for the past 4 years. She truly works in the best interest of her students. I have leaned on her as a colleague and Sandy has helped me through very stressful and challenging situations, both at work and in my personal life. She listens closely, showing genuine care and compassion; it is obvious she truly cares. In her words and actions she communicates that you matter. I cannot say enough positive things about her!

I had the good fortune of having Helene Diop as a clinical supervisor. She is a knowledgeable, insightful clinician who always provided me with useful feedback in regards to my approach with clients.

I have known Shakeria Hall-McGronan for nearly seven years. During that time Ive gone through a lot of personal hardships from including a serious car accident that left me battling with mental health issues.While she never crossed a line into being my therapist or diagnosing any of my issues she was always there for me when I needed her, even if I didnt want her to be. I know if she even brings a fraction of the care and compassion shes shown me to her future clients they will be in the best possible hands.

Erica Thompson is the consummate professional. As someone who has worked with Erica for five years, I can tell you how much her clients love and appreciate her. She is compassionate and understanding. She has a calling for helping women, but I’ve seen her work wonders with her male clients as well. I always refer clients to her from my spiritual counseling practice when I find that they could benefit from seeing a licensed therapist. You will find yourself in good hands.

Erica Thompson is a person that is truly walking in her purpose and is dedicated to helping her clients find and walk in theirs. For me, it was important to find a safe place to be vulnerable and share my struggles not just for them to be heard but to be given the skills needed to overcome them. EJ provides those things. If you’re looking for a therapist who is compassionate and cares about her clients and their goals, Erica is the person to see!

I struggled with self loathing and dark attitudes about myself for many years. My attitudes were affecting my relationships on a variety of levels. I felt like a failure. I was afraid to take my life but I didn’t want to live any more. My wife suggested I get counseling, but I resisted thinking I could fix me. It did not work. Helene Diop took me through a year of counseling via FaceTime that finally shed light on my dark experience. She helped me put my life in perspective and actively illuminated my understanding of why I felt the way I did. She provided clear, fruitful strategies for thinking that have changed my life. She, truly, helped the light shine in during my darkest hour! I’m a happy man, today!

I had a marriage counseling session with Tori-Lyn Mills. Her advice to me was horrible. I have some legitimate trust issues with my wife, that are recent, and Ms Mills basically said my trust issues were to be put in the past and I have to have blind faith for the future andI have no right to ask to see what is on her phone. I had to respect her privacy and not ask to see anything on her phone. I feel we were ill advised and would never recommend this counselorMs Mills also advised that we should never ride together for a counseling session
