ABOUT US
The clinicians at Thrive Counseling Center offer nurturing, safe, and affirming mental health care for clients of all ages. Our counselors work with kids, individuals, and couples of all ages within the state of Pennsylvania.
Change is ever-present in life. It can be confusing and difficult to navigate your world when facing discomfort and uncertainty. At Thrive, we understand that the challenges you face are unique and your counseling services should be specially formulated to you.
We are social-justice oriented, LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex positive, pro fat-liberation, neurodivergent-affirming, and anti-racist. We are committed to hiring diverse staff and supporting continuing education that supports our ethos, so that clients across the spectrum can be represented and understood. With a team of providers that each have their own unique approach and focus, Thrive can match you with a therapist that will walk alongside you in your individual journey of growth and transitions.
Sex Positive
A sex positive therapist approaches therapy with a positive attitude about sex. The therapists at Thrive are educated on progressive and accepting perspectives on sexuality and sex, including being kink-allied and body-neutral.
LGBTQIA+ affirming
Being queer-identity affirming is to be validating and supporting of all identities, with specific intent to protect and defend those marginalized populations.
Body-Neutral
Body Neutrality perspective states that bodies are not moral and therefore do not indicate being a good or bad person. The counselors at Thrive support therapeutic goals on self-esteem, body shame, and disordered eating without incorporating weight loss goals or dieting.
Neurodivergent affirming
A neurodivergent person is a person whose brain functions differently than what is considered "typical." Thrive clinicians are neurodivergent affirming by considering cognitive differences, such as ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia, while creating treatment goals with clients and supporting clients in a way that aligns with how their brain functions.
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment”
