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.

GBThriveworks is been the best source of… Thriveworks has been the best source of therapy I have ever had. I initially had a great therapist I was able to talk to, which is actually part of my issue, talking. I decided to stop therapy but realized that I needed some more. I initially was doing remote and decided to do in person instead. I thought if they had one great therapist that they might have more. I was right. My second therapist was also very effective. If it wasn't for my two therapist, I don't know how I'd be doing. Actually I do, definitely not as good. I highly recommend Thriveworks and much thanks to Anna Settle and Todd Newman. Btw, bad reviews may be based on people in distress. It's easy to say bad things, it's really hard to get to the point of saying good things.

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.

GBThey cancelled all my future couples… They cancelled all my future couples counseling appointment after 1 session because a supervisor thinks they know better than the people who booked the appointment. Very unprofessional
