You Don't Have to Wait Until Everything Falls Apart to Ask for Support
Sometimes you know exactly what brought you to therapy.
Other times, you simply know something feels off.
Maybe you're overthinking everything. You're exhausted from holding it all together. Your relationship feels disconnected. Your child or teen is struggling, and you're not sure how to help.
You don't need to have the perfect words for what you're experiencing.
That's part of what we're here to help you understand.
Therapy at Thrively Co.
Personalized support for different people, different challenges, and different seasons of life.
Individual Therapy
Sometimes it feels like your mind never stops. Other times, you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or simply unsure of what needs to change.
Individual therapy is a space to better understand yourself, work through difficult experiences, and develop tools that actually fit your life.
We support adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, self-confidence, identity, and major life transitions.
Child & Teen Therapy
When your child is struggling, it can be hard to know what they need, or how to help.
Therapy gives children and teens a supportive space to feel heard, better understand their emotions, and develop skills to navigate challenges with greater confidence. We also collaborate with parents and caregivers to better understand and support their child's needs.
We support children and teens experiencing anxiety, school challenges, social concerns, low self-confidence, family stress, and life transitions.
Couples Counseling
Do the same conversations seem to happen over and over again, and somehow you both leave feeling unheard, frustrated, or even further apart?
Couples counseling creates space to slow down, better understand the patterns impacting your relationship, and learn new ways of communicating and connecting.
We help couples navigate communication challenges, conflict, trust, intimacy, life transitions, and feeling disconnected from one another.
Therapy Should Feel Like a Relationship, Not a Formula
We know finding the right therapist matters.
At Thrively Co., we take the time to understand who you are, what you've experienced, and what you want from therapy.
Our therapists bring their own personalities, areas of expertise, and approaches to the work.
But therapy here is never one-size-fits-all.
Because you're not one-size-fits-all either.

More Ways We Can Support You
Sometimes therapy is about going deeper. Other times, you may need focused support navigating a specific challenge or deciding what comes next.
EMDR Therapy
When difficult experiences continue to impact how you feel, think, and respond—even when you understand logically that you're safe now, EMDR therapy can be an excellent alternative/supplement to talk therapy.
EMDR is a trauma-informed therapy approach that can help your brain process difficult experiences and reduce the emotional intensity connected to them.
Career Coaching
Feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or unsure of your next career move? Ready for your next presentation or promotion?
Career coaching offers practical, personalized support to help you gain clarity, explore possibilities, and make intentional decisions about what comes next.
FROM THE HEART OF THRIVELY CO.
Meet Cal, The Brave Little Red Car
Some conversations with children are hard to begin, especially when we aren't sure we have the right words.
Inspired by her personal experience as the mom of a heart warrior and her work as a therapist, Thrively Co. founder Shannon Theobald created Cal, The Brave Little Red Car as a resource to help families begin meaningful conversations about medical differences, scars, and hospital experiences with honesty, hope, and confidence.
A story created to help children feel proud of exactly who they are, and help caregivers begin the conversations that matter.
