I'm a faithful girl and it was hard for me to think about reaching out for help. I have lots of besties and Jesus is my saving grace After some prayer and research I came across Gina's profile. The more I read up on her the more I knew God was giving me permission to visit the idea. We seemed to have a lot in common and the fear of the unknowns did not win! Gina made me feel comfortable the first time I sat down with her. She's easy to talk to and a great listener. She gave me scripture to consider and also to memorize. I have been learning so much more about myself and how to handle my emotions and also how much my spiritual health is connected to my physical health. I can't say enough good about her God brought her to me and I don't plan to give up on our relationship anytime soon. I am definitely in a better place and I feel well guided and cared for. Thank vou Gina. God bless you and your ministry as we all press on

It's hard to find a good therapist and I know they have rules in place to keep from people abusing…read moretheir time and I'm all for that. I went to Jonathan 3 times and on my 4th time I had forgotten that I had my session that week and my family and I were taking a trip to Texas. I know about the 24 hour rules so I joined the session intending on doing it on the road because it was my fault for forgetting. When Jonathan joined (late) I explained I forgot but I knew he had a 24 hour rule so I wanted to do the session. I wish it was recorded so I could play it back but he came out immediately saying that it was totally okay and not a big deal. He explained that he didn't want me to have to do it in the car and we could do it another time. I was willing to take a break from the trip to do the session but said I would prefer if we could do it another time and he eagerly explained that it was not a big deal and I should enjoy my trip. So waking up the next morning with a bill notification was a bit upsetting. I texted them and he said that because it wasn't canceled 24 hours in advance I was charged the whole session ($150) I was of course upset because I was wanting to do the session. And if I was going to be charged he should have explained that I would be charged so I could have had the choice to continue the session I showed up for. They say they are Christians and they care but this is a clear sign that money matters above all else. If I no showed or canceled myself within 24 hours then I think it's fair to charge the client but I was there and he was the one who said we didn't need to do the session that day. It's sad that people get into this profession and only care about money when people are really hurting and vulnerable. $150 for a 3 minute call. I of course am now looking for a new therapist.

I see Holly for both counseling and Micro Current Neurofeedback--she is genuinely the best counselor my wife and I have ever encountered. She brings an uncommon level of wisdom and knowledge, and has the ability to ask you the questions no one else is asking, causing you think about things in a way you haven't before. It's hard to think of what more you could want from a therapist. Two of our kids see Jonathan, and he has an incredible ability to connect with them, doing so in very little time. He often sends us home with discussion starters based on their sessions, which has been immensely beneficial. We've always fostered open conversations with our kids, but having a professional equip them with the language to express what they're experiencing has been a game-changer. Beyond our own experience, many of our friends also attend Thrive and see other counselors, and we have yet to hear of a single bad experience. I truly believe this place doesn't have a "bad counselor." Everything rises and falls on leadership, and the consistent excellence at Thrive is a direct reflection of its strong culture and leadership. I'd recommend them to anyone in need of professional counseling.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist with an emphasis on Christian Counseling, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the current challenges in your life. I do not have a specific template I go to for each problem or client. I get to know you first. I let you teach me about you. The way you think, process, and react to life. From this knowledge I am then able to customize a plan that takes into account your background, personality, and unique life situation. I often tell my clients that they will never outwork me.
