GBSERVICE SUSPENED for AUTISTIC ADULT I am an AUTISTIC ADULT and Thriveworks CUT MY SERVICE with SHORT AND VAGUE WARNING! When the Thriveworks third party calls from another country, they talk fast and sternly, only acting like a corporation caring about the money only. They apparently FORGOT or DON'T CARE that they are helping/healing severely depressed and anxious individuals with a multitude of mental health diagnoses and traumas. As an Autistic person with PTSD, MDD, and GAD, I didn't appreciate or feel comfortable with their INDIFFERENT ATTITUDE-style customer service. Way to go Thriveworks! This is a solid way to lose patients AND therapists. Luckily, there is a local 24/7 Suicide Support group in my area that I can contact while waiting to receive my disability retirement payment and begin a re-payment plan at the end of this month. Hopefully, I can resume my weekly CBT therapy sessions sooner rather than later. I have an amazing and highly-skilled therapist who is the main reason I am choosing to stay with Thriveworks. I go wherever my therapist goes.

GBHorrible company, billing, customer service, Hit or Miss with the counsellor. Okay, so I see a lot of ppl saying it is a scam. It's not. It's just really sketchy the way their billing and company works. The therapist is awesome that I have, but thriveworks pressures you into signing up for a membership, that isn't mandatory. I have heard of people getting charged outrageous amounts out of nowhere. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CC ON FILE. use a privacy (dot) com card, a virtual card, you can connect to your bank, so YOU can control it, set a limit, etc. This way I KNOW They can never, ever charge more then 39 dollars at once (even if I cancel, the charge for cancelling won't go thru). Just be careful how you use this service, be sure your insurance covers it completely, and make sure you read the fine print on this place. They are a very scummy company, with some great therapists working for them. This may be the only way to get therapy for some ppl, as it's impossible to find local therapists. When you call, you will not be connected to a "speclist" you'll be connect to some sales rep across the world, that will not match you to the appropiate type of therapist you need. They are terrible. I'd give it 1 start, if it wasn't for the awesome therapist I have. THIS IS THERAPY, THEY ARE COUNSELLORS. They cannot prescribe meds. I see that in a review below. Alot of the issues I see in the other reviews I was told by my therapist, can be handled by telling her, rather then trying to go thru billing, which is staffed by 6 people (from what I was told). Finding the right therapist....is gonna be really big miss or a perfect fit.

GBThriveworks bad business practices I logged in to write a review of Thriveworks and was amazed to read another review that captured almost word for word my sentiments. Therapist is awesome, company is terrible. My teenage daughter's appointments were cancelled without warning, and when I immediately called to get support, it was an off-shore call center, and the agent knew nothing and could do nothing. Even though the billing issue was resolved and they actually had access to my credit card the whole time, they refused to put my daughter's appointment back on the schedule, citing some 48 hour company policy. Agent refused to allow me to speak to any other person, saying they were "all in meetings." She was entirely unhelpful and unfriendly. Very frustrating and saddening, as this company is in the business of mental health. I had another experience previously when my daughter had strep throat, and I called to cancel AT LEAST 24 hours in advance, but they have a hard line, non-negotiable 72 hour cancellation policy, so they charged me a ridiculous fee to cancel.

GBI had signed up with a career coach and… I had signed up with a career coach and had a number of good sessions. I had to miss one session due to a work conflict. My therapist had to cancel a session on me as well. I started to get texts from my old FSA provider that failed charges for $120 were coming through. I tried to reach customer service but was on hold forever and then left my number for a call back, which I never got. I ended up finding out from my coach that it was a late cancellation fee. They continued to try to charge my old FSA account. I was finally able to reach Customer Service and they said they would not waive the fee. I said then I would not be doing business with them ever again. A horrible customer service experience.

GBI wish I never used Thriveworks I had never used counseling before using Thriveworks. My first counselor would often go on 10-15 minute tangents about seemingly random things rather than talk through anything with me and I quickly began dreading my sessions. Second counselor failed twice to set up recurring appointments, leaving me at home from work at my computer with no appointment. I then called and asked not to be seen anymore. Since then, I have been charged over $500 for "missing" appointments that were never scheduled and do not show on my appointment dashboard at all. Billing and office are trying to hold me accountable. I wish I never used Thriveworks to begin with
