Thriveworks provides mental health care through licensed therapists and psychiatric providers, offering in-person and online therapy for children, teens, couples, and individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress. Clients access care by scheduling sessions, with Thriveworks handling administrative tasks such as billing, credentialing, and scheduling, and accepting most major insurance plans. The service works by matching clients with clinicians for therapy or psychiatric care and processing insurance reimbursements or direct payments from clients. Unlike some providers that require clients to handle much of the logistics themselves, Thriveworks centralizes administrative work so clinicians can focus on delivering care. Its goal is to improve access to mental health services for a broad population by making care more convenient and payable through insurance networks and direct payments, aiming to serve millions of Americans.

↑ 8%Thriveworks expands in-person psychiatry services in NJ. The basics: * Thriveworks adds in-person psychiatry at 5 NJ locations * Services include psychiatry, medication management, talk therapy * Expansion follows NJ return to in-person prescribing rules * Most first-time appointments can be scheduled within five to seven days Mental health services provider Thriveworks is expanding its psychiatry services in New Jersey to include in-person care. Patients can now receive in-person psychiatry, as well as medication management and talk therapy, at five existing Thriveworks locations statewide, the practice announced in an Aug. 19 press release: Until recently, Thriveworks' eight local clinics offered only in-person talk therapy. Sites in Dumont, Jersey City and Newark will continue to focus on that service, according to a spokesperson. Both psychiatry and talk therapy will remain as virtual options in New Jersey, the media representative said. Changes to prescription requirements. Under state law, an initial in-person examination and an in-person follow-up visit must take place at least every three months while the patient remains on a medication. In the wake of the state's return from virtual to in-person prescribing requirements for some psychiatric medications, many New Jerseyans have been left with gaps in their care due to a shortage of in-person psychiatric providers, Thriveworks said. The provider aims to bridge that gap with its rollout of in-person psychiatry services. Additionally, it hopes to give patients more options to receive in-person care when required or desired and virtual when clinically appropriate. The doctor will see you now. Thriveworks CEO Dr. Dan Frogel commented, "For too long, trying to access psychiatric care in New Jersey has meant long waitlists, steep out-of-pocket costs or, just going without. When the new regulations came into effect, we knew even more people would be left without access to the medications they need to function at their best, so leveraging our existing footprint in the state we were able to operationalize quickly to set up in-person psychiatry." "We're proud to offer New Jersey residents with a pathway for fast, high-quality psychiatry services that are covered by most of the state's major insurance providers," he said. Thriveworks noted it offers flexible appointments, including slots during evenings and weekends. Compared to the national average wait of six weeks, most patients can schedule first-time appointments at Thriveworks within five to seven days, the provider added. They can choose from a variety of providers to find the best match. Besides being in-network with most major insurance providers in New Jersey, Thriveworks has self-pay options. It does not include anyy membership or hidden fees, according to the practice. Founded in 2008, national mental health care provider Thriveworks has more than 340 offices and 2,200 clinicians. It offers in-person and online therapy and psychiatry services to children, teens and adults.

Thriveworks partners with Ardent Health to integrate behavioral health across its multi-state health system. Integrated Model Expands Access to Mental Health Services To Support Whole-Person Care New York, NY, 3 February, 2026: Thriveworks, a leading provider of talk therapy and psychiatry services nationwide, today announced a partnership with Ardent Health to integrate high-quality behavioral health services directly into the health system's care delivery model, integrating within existing EMR systems and clinical workflows across Kansas, Texas, New Jersey, New Mexico, Idaho, and Oklahoma. The partnership will provide Ardent Health providers and patients with seamless access to therapy and psychiatry services delivered by Thriveworks clinicians, a uniquely coordinated model that supports continuity of care, cross-clinical communication, and improved outcomes. This move follows Ardent's commitment to expand access to critical mental health services for the communities they care for. Meanwhile, Thriveworks' 2025 Pulse on Mental Health report found that 18% of Americans are turning to medical professionals such as primary care physicians for mental health support, underscoring the growing role of health systems in identifying and addressing behavioral health concerns. The same research found that 93% of Americans see a link between mental and physical health, with 44% saying the two are completely intertwined and 49% saying they are sometimes connected, reinforcing the need for integrated models that treat the whole person, not isolated conditions. Through the partnership, patients can access in-person or virtual care to suit their specific needs while providers benefit from smooth handoffs, timely feedback, and bi-directional communication that supports continuity of care and improved overall health outcomes without adding operational burden. Dr. Dan Frogel, CEO of Thriveworks, said, "Primary care and hospital settings have become the front door to mental health care, making behavioral integration essential. By partnering with Ardent Health, Thriveworks will serve as a trusted extension of the care team, embedding evidence-based behavioral health services directly into its operations. This is part of a growing network of health system collaborations Thriveworks is driving to deliver integrated, scalable behavioral health solutions that go beyond access to drive high-impact care and improve physical health outcomes." Ethan Chernin, president of health services at Ardent, said: "This partnership recognizes the imperative of mental health services as part of an overall care plan. Thriveworks' clinically-led team deeply understands patient and provider needs, and has developed a truly integrated model that is both seamless and effective. We're proud to partner with them to ensure patients get the right care, at the right time."
