Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Waco

“My therapist here is amazing. I have found so much healing in my grief and trauma journey. Thanks Thriveworks but most importantly, THANK you Pam.”

“So I do not mind sharing my experience. Because hopefully somebody will see this who maybe in crisis or need help and they can reach out as well. This is my first appointment with the counselor that I did see, after my initial appointment I was left filling a little less anxiety. I know I need some help because I've been through a lot and it's hard to find somebody that you can actually talk to that doesn't try and act like they know how you feel because they have all the book smarts in the world. If you've been through stuff and your counselor has not been through anything it makes it hard to be able to build a report with that person. No I'm not completely comfortable with her and no I don't completely trust her but that's not her fault. She did an amazing job, it's mine because of my mental health. With that said she was very welcoming she let me speak upon what I wanted to speak upon and she would ask me questions to show she was interested in the conversation and wanted to know more to get to know my situation. She was not pushy nor did she just ask a bunch of questions or make it completely personal. She made it so that I felt I was okay to speak and she actually took the time to listen and didn't act like she knew everything but she acted like she had empathy for the things I've been through. Her listening skills added to this, made her easy to communicate with and I will be seeing her again. I think this may be somebody that I can relieve stress with without feeling like it's just another session.”

“I’m in my 60s and I wasn’t sure if I could talk to somebody in their 30s, But I felt really comfortable with Jacqueline Ohler. I was able to get started right away and by questions. She was asking me, I could tell. She knew what she was doing. I was super prepared to keep searching! But I think I found a good match for me, For this next Step in my healing journey”

“I’ve completed two sessions and have found my therapist, Linda Faris, very professional and comfortable to talk with. She listens and then repeats what she thinks I’m saying. We’re working on coping skills and improving self talk. I feel positive I can reach my goals.”
