Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often. For more detail on a specific topic, follow the links to our focused FAQ pages.

New here? A good place to start is Find My Therapist, which suggests a clinician based on what you are looking for. Our team reviews every match before reaching out.

How do I choose the right therapist?

Start with what matters most to you: the concern you want support with, the state you live in, language, and scheduling. Our Find My Therapist tool walks you through a few short questions and suggests a clinician who fits. You can also read each clinician’s profile on our team page. There is no single right answer, and our staff can help you decide.

What happens after I submit a consultation request?

Your request goes securely to our team. We review it, confirm details like your location and availability, and reach out to schedule a free consultation or a first appointment. Final clinician placement is always confirmed by Thrive staff.

Can I request a specific therapist?

Yes. You can request a specific clinician through Find My Therapist or our request form. We will do our best to honor your preference based on availability and fit.

What if the therapist I request is unavailable?

If your first choice is not available, we will let you know and suggest other clinicians who may be a good fit for what you are looking for. You are never locked in to a single choice.

Which clinicians are currently accepting new clients?

Our clinicians who are accepting new clients are shown on the homepage and the team page, each with a current availability label. Availability can change, so the site reflects the latest status.

How soon can I begin therapy?

It depends on the clinician’s availability and your schedule. After we review your request, we will share the soonest available options. If getting started quickly matters most to you, let us know and we will factor that in.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. We offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can see whether a clinician feels like a good fit before committing to a first session.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, we are in-network with several plans and also offer self-pay and out-of-network options. Coverage can vary by clinician and by your specific plan, so we confirm your benefits before your first appointment. See our payment options page for details.

Does every clinician accept the same insurance plans?

Not necessarily. Insurance participation can vary by clinician. When you request care, we check the specific clinician’s panel participation against your plan rather than assuming every plan is accepted by everyone.

How much will therapy cost?

Your cost depends on whether you use insurance, your specific plan and benefits, and the service. We will review expected costs with you before your first appointment so there are no surprises. See payment options.

Do you offer therapy in Spanish?

Yes. Daisy and Nayely provide bilingual Spanish and English care. Learn more on our Spanish-speaking and culturally responsive therapy FAQ.

Do you work with children and adolescents?

Yes. Nayely works with children, adolescents, and young adults, and Daisy works with adolescents and adults (ages 12 and up). See our child and adolescent therapy FAQ.

Do you work with young adults?

Yes. Several of our clinicians work with young adults. Nayely specializes in children, adolescents, and young adults, and Daisy works with young adults and adults.

Do you offer couples therapy?

We are building our couples and family services. When a clinician who provides these services is available, they will be listed on the couples and family therapy FAQ and matched through Find My Therapist. Not every clinician offers couples work.

Do you offer family therapy?

Family therapy is part of the services we are growing. Only clinicians approved to provide family therapy are matched for it. See the couples and family therapy FAQ for how this works.

Do you offer ADHD and autism assessment?

Yes. We offer ADHD assessment, autism assessment, and diagnostic clarification for ages 12 and up. Learn more on the assessment FAQ and assessment services pages.

Is the website request form secure?

Yes. The website request form is built on a HIPAA secure platform, and your request is sent through the same secure workflow that feeds our practice’s records. Please avoid including sensitive medical details in free-text fields; we will gather what we need securely once we connect.

Can I change therapists if the fit does not feel right?

Yes. Fit matters, and it is completely okay to change clinicians. Let us know and we will help you find someone who feels like a better match.

What should I do in an emergency?

Our services are not for emergencies and are not monitored 24/7. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), or call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

Still have questions?

Our team is happy to help you find the right fit. Start with Find My Therapist, or reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.
