Studies have shown that psychiatrists in the U.S. are far less likely to accept insurance than other types of physicians—which is why Thriveworks is so important. Thriveworks is in-network with more than 360 different insurance plans, which is more than any other online therapy or psychiatry service I know of. So if you’re in need of psychiatric care and cannot pay out-of-pocket, Thriveworks is a good bet.
Of the eight testers who tried Thriveworks, most of them had great experiences with the company’s therapy services. Even in places where mental health care isn’t easily accessible, like South Dakota, Kansas, and Missouri, my testers were able to find providers who met their needs and exceeded their expectations. They were impressed with the thorough intake sessions almost all of their therapists conducted, which led to their providers being present, prepared, and informed throughout their time together; and it was clear that no matter what kind of service my testers were looking for—from individual therapy to couples therapy to therapy for their children—Thriveworks offered therapists who were skilled and clearly experienced as well as kind and personable.
Most of my testers walked away from their Thriveworks sessions with applicable advice, tools for problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of the issues they brought to therapy. This plus the nearly 400 insurance plans Thriveworks accepts gives me confidence in its psychiatry services as well.
Twenty-eight percent of the 100 Thriveworks users I surveyed said that they received psychiatry services, and 19% said that the company accepting their insurance was the most important factor when deciding to use Thriveworks.
