Thriveworks has been a good resource for me. They can help you get set up with a therapist and/or psychiatrist within your network.

Wouldn't hurt to consult your PCP either.

How is thriveworks? It feels like a big corporate group trying to group/monetize psychiatry care. Would a smaller group outside of it be better or am i reading into it wrong

My read of it is they're basically like independent contractors, and Thriveworks is just a service to better connect clients with therapists. My therapist and psychiatrist haven't once mentioned Thriveworks in about a year I've been seeing them (anxiety, death in the family).

I would still suggest maybe checking in with your PCP first. That's where I went to first, and my PCP gave me various recommendations for mental health. Could be they have someone they trust they could recommend to you. Good luck!!

i love thriveworks! it definitely give off like a big corporate group vibe at first but the resources are great. you get to meet with the same therapist/psychiatrist every time and it’s so easy to book appointments. once i established care with my therapist i hardly noticed the corporation anymore
