We offer services in-office (in Lafayette, CA and Burbank, CA) and also online, in order to best support our communities.
We offer ongoing therapy for adults, kids, and teens, group therapy, assessment services, and also single session appointments, which are sort of like drop-in appointments, for those who only want to meet just one to three times. It’s easy to schedule.

We provide specialized support.
Therapy is a path to healing, and a path that promotes mental health fitness. It can be holistic, and often the healing occurs deep within. As you grow in personal insight, aspects of who you are become clearer and easier to understand. Therapy is a discovery process of finding the meaning you have been looking for. It is about personal growth and opening in awareness. For children, therapy can be a time to be fully heard and accepted, a time and place to play, create, and heal, a space to process memories, thoughts and feelings, and to learn new skills. At TheraThrive, we offer counseling, consultation and assessment for gifted & highly sensitive people of all ages.
We look forward to connecting with you!

Footprints in the Sand Tray: ADHD, Storytelling, and Sandplay Therapy
Before I knew what sand tray work was, I thought it was about setting figurines into sand to create a still-life 3D picture that is ripe with symbolism. That is all true. However, I have learned that sand tray is anything but still. It is a living, moving story. There...
Let’s Stop The Pain.
