All while billing me for a "60 minute session". In my last session with her, she arrived 20 minutes late to a Telehealth appointment after providing an excuse. I had to ask her if she would charge me the full amount for our session given her tardiness and the answer was yes. After emailing her and her office about my experience and how disappointed I was, her response was not an apology, but stating that she "stands by her policies."

Mallory is by far the best counselor I've ever been too! From the moment I stepped into her office,…read moreI knew I would be comfortable to delve into my deepest/darkest thoughts with her. Her ability to listen, provide insightful support, and knowledge of her trade has provided me with an arsenal of tools I can use to get through those tough moments even when she's not physically there to talk me through them! Not to mentioned, her get-after-it attitude is inspiring as she encourages you to face your struggles head on to overcome them. Each time I walk out of her office I'm inspired to continually work through my scars/deepest struggles to align myself with the ideals/intentions I have set for myself. It's safe to say I trust Mallory, and I will continue to see her for a long time coming. Cannot recommended her enough!

At first, my psychiatrist/nurse practitioner was really kind, caring, and considerate. Within…read moremonths, he started calling me to the back 30 minutes after my appointment was scheduled. He gave me a prescription for a med and it worked good and then the next refill, my current pharmacy changed manufactures and the it made me feel very sick. I called and left a message to let him know and he suggested that we send it to a different pharmacy which worked out the first time. Last month, he sent the med to the wrong pharmacy and I have been trying to contact him since. No response, the pharmacy reached out to him several times and he won't answer. Why would you put someone on meds and just stop responding? This med is horrible stopping and then starting again. I won't be back.

Therapy is a different world for many people, and they tend to back out and not open up with a stranger, but I encourage you to take a few steps in and see how it works for you. The initial evaluation was comfortable (including furniture and Dr. Clark's calm office setting), although I was naturally nervous in a new experience. Dr. Clark was very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. The following session I was tested and the third session we thoroughly discussed results. I now am involved in therapy exercises on my own and refer back to Dr. Clark as needed; she is responsive to texts and calls and I appreciate the growth that has resulted!

The dynamic felt off in a way I couldn't ignore, and I decided to ultimately end the therapeutic relationship. I believe people deserve to feel steady and supported in therapy, and I didn't feel that was possible for me at Thrive.
