I also suffer from ADHD, and PTSD from childhood abuse. I have tried therapy multiple times and made no real progress. Perhaps one could argue that I wasn't ready. I would argue that I was ready but desperately needed a "safe place". He has given me that. He shows great empathy and his intuition constantly amazes me. Imagine being so close with someone that they already know your thoughts and your pain? This is NOT the psychic friends network! Because of Dr. Smith's due diligence (gathering case documents from my Neurologist, PCP, Hematologist, & other professionals) on my unique case he was able to avoid wasted time in the very beginning. Currently I have been seeing Dr. Smith for over two years and my progress has been nothing short of of amazing. He took on someone with multiple issues and due to his patience and willingness to wait until I was ready to open up and tell everything, he has literally saved my heart. When I came to him I was so broken, hurt, and in incredible pain. Today, I able to see things how the truly are and move forward with a healthy life. I never dreamed I could be in such a healthy, safe, and self progressive state. I would recommend him for abused women in particular. His insight, and the tools he has provided me have been so substantial that I honestly do not feel that I will not regress to that deep cold place that reminds me of the ugliness. If I am taken there with certain triggers, I now know exactly what do to. Aka...Mask of the Doctors wife...(married to another physician, who often wore a mask of happiness to avoid pain and shame). Also a shameless plug for my upcoming book! Did I say he was good? No longer wearing the mask!

Trust me- you'll see it. Just some parts of my review - -my provider completely checked out of my care upon confirming her move out of the country. -the medication regimen I was on was causing extreme harm both mentally, as well as physically (developed liver issues as well as blood pressure issues) -i was taken off of 2 MAJOR medications, including Ketamine treatment at the same time, as well as told to abstain from alcohol (I am not an alcoholic, but there was definitely abuse there, sure) HOWEVER, she took me off of an anti seizure med and was worried I would have a seizure coming off of alcohol...? Oooookay dude. I was put in an insane place where I started to devolve mentally and physically. I lashed out to my provider via voicemail, bc I had not heard a WORD from her. There was no forward motion or any motivation on their part to get me back into Ketamine treatment, as well as not informing me of their move until the last second (which I ended up finding out from another former co-worker of hers. Her name is Abigail Smith, she is listed as an NP. LUCKILY anyone trying to enroll won't receive her care bc she's leaving, but the practice manager has backed her behavior, and discharged me from the practice after leaving said voicemail. I do not regret it in the least. I was and still am angry, distraught, sad, furious, you name it. However, I never threatened her, called her names, or made any threats to their office. I cussed a ton, sure, completely warrants their treatment of me. After my discharge from the practice, I was never informed. I was never called, texted, emailed, or even sent a letter. They sent an email to my partner who is on my HIPPA release forms. That was IT. I'm begging you to RUN from this place. I spent 6 years of my life here, and came the closest to ending said life than I ever had. What a fucking waste. The more than 4 medical professionals that I have since contacted/enrolled in care with are absolutely appalled and shocked at both the medication regimen I was receiving, as well as the treatment I received as a result. I am finally in very capable, and extremely concerned and caring hands now after a wild search after being left with limited meds upon my discharge. I was supposed to start back with Ketamine treatment soon, but DBH's practice NEVER took me out of their Spravto program, even through I stopped end of DEC, and left the practice in JAN. So, it's now been a 6 week delay at the minimum to continue that care. Run. Run to anyone but here. The staff are great, but the "care" from the provider(s) and their manager is a bloody joke. They couldn't have given less of a care if I had ended it. One less client to deal with, I guess. I'm starting to wonder what their body count is.

Shay is great…read morebut it turns out the rest are not good. they canceled my appointment next week and likely are going to harass me next time as well I finally get in. my psychiatrist said she is waiting on approval and wants me to do it at her new location. just want to also point out, if you don't have insurance then it's $3000 for the tiny amount given and that is not factoring in that you have to be in their building for two hours so Shay has vouched. For me unlike other people that's an added charge. they were good previously but out of all people Shay has always been very nice, for her patients as well, that's the only reason i give two stars is that they one employee that really makes a difference. First off as a "brand name chemical) you would think the dosage is exactly what they say but nope some are more and some are less, you cannot tell from the looks of it. 2 stars instead of one just because they do have an employ that's not only good but actually cares for the patients. Maybe you are lucky and find a better place not too far away, I would not suggest this place.

There are two questionnaires that you have to complete every time before you have your therapy or…read more session. They are extremely repetitive. When requesting paperwork from medical records, it can take up to 30 days which is very inconvenient if you need it for something extremely important. There is absolutely no way to expedite the process. The psychiatrist I worked with was extremely helpful. She did the best she could with the resources she had. The therapist I had, wasn't a good fit, and I searched day by day for a new therapist, but they didn't have too many available options, considering my health insurance and the type of individual I was looking for. Thriveworks has a lot of rules set/policies for their workers. For example, if you plan on taking a leave of absence for work, the psychiatrist can only approve four weeks. If you are looking to get any sort of leave of absence, paperwork completed, I highly recommend to utilize your psychiatrist as your therapist cannot answer to or fill out certain, I learned the hard way. Your psychiatrist cannot speak to any sort of leave of absence until you have had for sessions with them. Thriveworks has been nothing but a headache for me, at one point, my therapist was doing more harm than good. Hence the reason for me searching for another.

She takes a very direct and rationale approach to therapy, and told me up front that she wanted to get me over this phobia as quickly as possible so that she could stop seeing me, and start helping another patient. I can respect that. And I appreciate the willingness to actually work hard and not pansy around. You think I like being afraid to fly? Hell no. Her approach is all about acceptance and coping. As in- accept that I don't like to fly, and figure out how to make the best of it without causing an international incident. Six months later, I flew to Cancun for a vacation. And two months after that I flew to Orlando for work. So she lived up to her promise- she is fast and efficient.
