Thrive Boston Counseling now accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield!

There are many counselors, therapists, psychologists, and life coaches in the greater Boston area. Some are good, and some are not so good. Some will help you achieve unprecendented change and growth in your life, while others will provide little help in exchange for the money you will pay and the time you will invest in the counseling or life coaching process.

As you begin to look for a therapist, you will want to make sure you are finding the right counselor, at the right value!

Too often people spend good money, and (perhaps even more valuable) a lot of time and effort, searching for help in places where they find no improvement and no peace of mind.

Some therapy centers are good at keeping clients or patients for years, but are not good at providing their clients with new skills and tools for improving their mood, relationships, and to help them set and reach new goals for personal success.

If you have been reading other pages on this website, you are probably beginning to realize that Thrive Boston Counseling and Life Coaching is different from other therapy practices in Boston. We are the Original Counseling and Life Coaching Practice in Boston. At Thrive, our goal is not to make you dependant on therapy, but to empower you to take control of your life.

This page will begin to tell you about the unprecedented value that is provided to the many satisfied clients of Thrive Boston Counseling and Life Coaching.

No Waiting Lists

Many counseling therapy centers in Boston place new clients on waiting lists.

These counselor waiting lists are often weeks, or in some cases months, long. Such a long waiting list is NOT a sign of an excellent therapist, it's a sign of a mismanaged practice.

Thrive Boston Psychotherapy has excellent therapists and offers new clients their first appointment the same week they call to schedule a session. We sometimes even manage to schedule an appointment for the NEXT DAY!

How do we do this? Every therapist working at Thrive Boston keeps a few spaces open in their schedule every week for new clients. That way, no client ever goes waiting.

It takes a lot of courage and motivation to call and schedule a session--and we want to reward clients for that effort! We don't think anyone should have to be put on a waiting list to see a counselor or life coach.

The #1 Complaint We Hear From New Clients

"My last counselor/life coach listened to me, but he/she didn't really have anything to say to help me."

We often hear from new patients that their last therapist or life coach had good intentions, but didn't help them.

You will spend more than your money on therapy--you will invest your time. For those investments, you want a therapist or life coach who will produce results for you:

insights, breakthroughs, new understandings, new behaviors, and dare we say it: happiness. The therapists and life coaches at Thrive Boston Counseling are passionate about facilitating happiness in their clients.

Counselors and life coaches at Thrive Boston Counseling are rigorously screened to ensure they are at the top of their field in talent and skill, and that they have a proven track record of delivering successful life coaching and mental health therapy.

Tracking Progress and Feedback

If counseling or life coaching isn't going well, who's fault is it--the therapist's or the clients?

Too often clients are blamed when therapy or coaching doesn't go well, while the counselor takes the benefit when progress is made.

We see it the other way around. It is the therapist's or life coach's job to empower the client to make changes in his or her mood, thoughts, relationships, and life, and it is to the client's credit when these changes are made because it is the client's effort that produced the change. It is the client's time and work--coupled with the counselors knowledge and encouragement--that creates personal life change.

At thrive, client's have the ability to report, after every single session, exactly how well their counselor or life coach understood and cared about them in that session. Here are a few of the items that clients are asked to rate their counselor or life coach on after each and every session:

* I felt that I could trust my therapist during today’s session
* My therapist felt I was worthwhile
* My therapist was friendly and warm towards me
* My therapist understood what I said during today’s session
* My therapist was sympathetic and concerned about me
* My therapist helped me toward reaching my goals

Information from clients helps to ensure the counselor is always connecting with the client. And if there is ever the slightest of a lapse, the counselor and client can work on that area of connection together during the next session.

Famous psychiatrist David Burns M.D. once stated that counselors do not generally ask for this type of information from their clients because they are AFRAID of the answers. Not us.
