GBThriveworks is legitimately a scam Thriveworks is legitimately a scam. They want you to see 2 different therapist at different times throughout the week so they can charge you and the insurance more. The reason for me even using this services was a psych evaluation. Something they do not even offer, but still asked me to take 2 sessions before telling me that. The second therapist had a grin most of the time as if my personal problems were funny to her. To top that, I was charged $135 on two separate ocassions for a service I did not use. They told me I had to wait 60 days for a refund. I waited the 60 days, now I'm being told I need to wait an additional 30 to 60 days to get my money back. I literally spent 1hr and 30 minutes attempting to get a straight answer and what do they do? They pass responsibility from department to department saying that the person that can help is in a meeting 🤣. I'm attaching a screen shot of the amount of time these scammers are keeping me on the phone.

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.

GBSCAM ARTISTS SCAM ARTISTS these people prey on the weak minded patients by making them sign unreasonable 48 hour no cancellation contracts. If you cancel your appointment for any reason before 48 hours of your appointment they bill you. If you try to call the customer service they are trained to lead you in circles promising to you that they will ask management to forgive the cancellation fee of $135.00 but never do anything. REPORT TO ATTORNEY GENERAL if they do this to you.

GBGreat therapists, terrible billing/office The therapists my family has worked with have been wonderful. The Thriveworks billing department, however, are pretty awful. We've had frequent issues with them charging incorrect cards despite us asking them to update our payment method. The staff at the billing center are generally pretty unhelpful unless you manage to speak to a supervisor. They sound like they're trying but have very little power to actually solve problems. I think they've got some great therapists, but they need to get the business side sorted out.

GBTerrible therapist, terrible company I told the therapist (Dretha Burris) that I have Complex PTSD. In our 1st session she told me in detail about both of her adopted daughters major traumas. I froze, but had to stop her. Afterwards I have had bad dreams from her re-traumatizing me. She's obviously unprofessional and lacking in education. I reached out several times to Thriveworks to complain. NONE of their posted numbers allow patients to contact anyone directly or to leave messages. I've sent emails and tried contacting via their website - no replies at all.
