Recently, they added a prescribing psychologist on staff, Dr. Vento, who has the kind of approach to mental health medication and therapy I had been wishing for. And having worked previously with Demian, I trust him to run a safe and ethical practice. Thrive has a perfectly smooth and easy process that is all conveniently online, from intake forms and insurance, to scheduling and text/SMS reminders, to the video sessions themselves.

So happy to have found this group.

We were able to see a therapist quickly, appointments have been flawless, billing has been no problem. The connection between my son and the therapist has been so solid that it's helped him tremendously with his recovery. I can not recommend them enough.

One of the main reasons I highly recommend the Life Change Institute is the excellence (and…read morediversity) of their therapists. I had a great experience with the owner, Shannon, who is honest, warm, genuine and professional. I have referred a few friends who have since raved about their therapists as well. It seems that most of the therapists I've met there are down to earth individuals who truly care about their clients and their a fun group as well!

My life has drastically changed since I began seeing Shannon several years ago. I love that she…read morealways gives me practical, usable steps that I can go out and implement immediately. I also love that she is direct and calls what she sees; keeps me from perpetuating things that I don't notice in my life. She has a wealth of experience that she draws from and I appreciate that in a coach. Her positive, upbeat style really speak to me. My life has changed tremendously and I hope to keep moving that direction!

And as soon as my insurance covered it again, I was back again for biweekly therapy sessions. During 2020 and the pandemic, my therapy has been especially helpful. You wouldn't think that an hour long video session would make a big difference in your life, but having that outlet AND a Therapist to speak to about everything going on around you, makes the world of difference! You will truly amazed at the professionalism, courteousness from the staff, and the progress you have after a couple sessions.

I have had sessions both in person as well as Zoom meetings. Showing that she actually cares whole heartedly in the patient's wellbeing and journey of healing of oneself. She is absolutely the best therapist I've come across in my life!

By the time I started seeing Dr. Handfield, I had been treated by five different therapists. I had…read morealso been admitted to two different psychiatric hospitals as well. Finally I was referred to Dr. Handfield so I scheduled an appointment and it was the best decision I ever made. At that time, I was very angry, fractured, and disconnected. She listened and was empathetic. It was what I needed to get through some tough times with work and my personal life. She offered different points of view about my situation and it helped with my anxiety. I felt that Dr. Handfield "got me" and when I expressed my concerns or asked questions, she knew exactly what to say. It was healing and it made me feel that I was not alone. I have continued to see her and I feel more confident and whole. I recommend Dr. Handfield especially to those in her new practice in New Mexico. It will be the best decision you ever make.

Mostly chatting and getting to the issues in a leisurely manner. I was able to speak up and say a few things I wanted to say that I probably would not otherwise. Not sure dad heard me, but it was good to participate. She does talk about herself some, but it was just part of the conversation. She does run late, about 15 minutes, and admits that, but we knew so were prepared. Overall it was a good introduction to therapy. Was in #207 but moved to 1st floor #108.

I originally saw Steve Zaffer after searching for a counselor that was familiar with EMDR…read moretreatment. I had 2 promising session with Steve, in which I did mention I have an existing health condition that could, at times, affect my ability to keep some appointments. Steve said he understood, we went over his cancellation policies which required a 24 hour notice. I missed one appt due to my medical issues, then a second due to a family emergency that required me to leave the state for a few days. This second cancellation I was able to give not 24, but 48 hr notice. After this, when I tried to schedule my next appt, suddenly Steve no longer had availability. Maybe it was coincidence, maybe it wasn't, but it is never a good thing when the person entrusted with your mental healthcare has no time to actually treat you for several weeks. Add to this that the office is so small and set up in a way that the only place to wait for your appt is in a tiny hallway in which you can easily hear any ongoing sessions, it is not an office I'd recommend at this time. If I can hear someone in the room, someone else could easily hear me. I will be looking for a new professional. UPDATE: I noticed the response to my review, and perhaps I needed to be more clear, the 2 cancellations were NOT in a row and there was notice given per the policy I signed. I'm not upset at the cancellation policy but at the provider not adhering to the policy and also not bothering to contact me or return my calls. I had to contact him multiple times via text just to be told to find someone else. I wasn't going to into such detail but since the responder wants to insinuate that I'm simply disgruntled at the policy, I felt the need to provide more specifics. Thank you for the option to wait until the next available appointment, but my experience there has not left me with the desire to try my hand again. I'm much happier at Healthy Families. They're professional and my provider there always makes sure to contact me with any issues with scheduling. It's been a respectful relationship and I'd recommend them to anyone.

She is clearly an expert in her field, and I trust her implicitly to guide the work with care, skill, and sound judgment. She brings a calm clarity and steadiness to each session that makes the work feel grounded, purposeful, and honest.
