Difficulty falling and staying asleep or waking exhuasted can significantly impact mental health. We evaluate whether sleep concerns are primary or related to other conditions and create a sustainable treatment plan.

Medication management and therapy can help PTSD and trauma-related symptoms by: 

• Alleviating core symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and feeling irritable or on edge.

• Reducing nightmares and improving sleep quality, leaving you with more energy.

• Stabilizing mood, decreasing irritability, and helping manage anger, allowing you to connect deeper with friends and loved ones. 

• Improving your ability to engage in daily activities and engage in the things that you truly matter to you.

Sexuality and gender identity are core to the way you relate to others and experience the world. We invite you to bring your whole self to your visit to explore, discover and express all of who you are. We are sex positive, kink knowledgable and affirming so you can better understand yourself and your needs.  

At Thrive, we provide affirming care for individuals whose brains work differently from the norm.

We don’t aim to ‘fix’ anything. We work towards understanding and supporting who you already are. 

It is common to notice mood changes as your child becomes a teenager. Starting as young as ten years old, the adolescent years are marked by profound hormonal, neurobiological, emotional, and physical changes which can contribute to intense and rapidly fluctuating emotions. We offer support as your family navigates the many changes that adolescence presents.

Some young adults find themselves facing challenges as they navigate the transition from adolescence to adulthood responsibilities which can feel overwhelming and intimidating. Thrive offers support as young adults establish their professional journeys, independent living and build distress tolerance.

The transition toward menopause marks a profound shift in the hormonal balance leaving individuals susceptible to mood and anxiety disorders. This is often a time of life transitions in which there are increased career and caregiving demands for aging family members and questions regarding sense of self as parenting pressures evolve. We hold space as you navigate the many changes that mark this life stage.

Becoming a parent today feels more challenging than ever before. Yet, the narrative that describes the transition remains the same: welcoming a new baby is supposed to be ‘wonderful’ and ‘blissful’ and ‘the best thing that will ever happen to you.’ These messages are plastered all over social media and reinforce an avalanche of ‘shoulds’ and ‘supposed to’ for new parents to measure themselves against. This causes parents to feel guilty, ashamed and like a failure when they experience anything less. The truth is: parenting is messy. There are lots of good parts but also lots of overwhelming, frustrating, anxiety-provoking and sad parts, too. We make space for it all. 

Mental health challenges can impact anyone at any stage of life. This is particularly true for older adults who may face unique challenges and stressors. We offer care tailored to the needs of older adults navigating life transitions, mental health concerns, grief and loss, while recognizing that chronic medical conditions can exacerbate emotional challenges. We work on strengthening communication and relationship skills, identifying social support networks and developing strategies to maintain connectedness.
