How do I find the right therapist at Thrive?

Our office manager facilitates the matching process to ensure you find the best fit. After you reach out via phone (715-256-7166) or email, our team gathers information about your needs and reviews current clinician availability. You can also browse our website to view each therapist's biography and areas of expertise.

What happens after I contact the office?

Once our administrative staff receives your information, they will get you set up in our EHR system, SimplePractice. This secure platform helps us manage your intake documentation efficiently.

How is my first session scheduled?

After your information is in our system, your assigned therapist will reach out to you directly. They will work with you one-on-one to schedule your initial intake session at a time that works best for your calendar.

What should I expect during the intake session?

Your intake session is a 60-minute appointment dedicated to getting to know one another. It is a collaborative space for you to express why you are seeking therapy, share your goals, and ensure you feel comfortable and understood as you begin.

Who handles my scheduling after the first session?

To maintain a consistent and personal connection, all scheduling after your initial intake is handled directly by you and your therapist. This allows you to coordinate future appointments seamlessly.

What do I do if I need to cancel or reschedule an appointment?

Please reach out to your therapist directly as soon as possible. You can contact them through the SimplePractice secure portal, via email, or by calling their direct work line.
