Melissa Gray is my hero. Here is the story:
I have been on my mental health journey since February 2020. I have Kaiser and they did nothing to help me. In the last year and a half, I saw 4 different counselors, and finally started seeing a psychiatrist in April 2021 (through Kaiser, not Thriveworks). He prescribed me 2 medications that made my symptoms even worse, and he could only see me every 3 months because they were SO booked.
Fed up, I finally made the call to Thriveworks. I saw Melissa Gray in July (she got me in within 24 HOURS!). I was so impressed by her thoughfulness and her willingness to educate me on my symptoms and treatment options. More than that, she made herself available if I needed anything in between appointments. Wow - a provider that is genuinely caring, a great communicator, AND available? What a gem!!
Now hear me: I was NOT in a position to pay out-of-pocket for my initial eval. I'm here to tell you IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. It's now August, and since my first appointment with Melissa and getting the medication I needed, I feel the best I've felt in years. I truly didn't realize how sick I was until Melissa's care got me feeling better and on the right track.
Now, my therapy sessions at Thriveworks are WAY more effective, and every area of my life is improving (work, relationships, self, etc.) I cannot begin to thank Thriveworks, and specifically Melissa Gray, enough for getting to know me, being available, and showing they really care.
If you are struggling like I was, make an appointment at Woodstock. You can find help here, and you can feel better soon. Trust me.
