For those experiencing a difficult life situation, you want relief to come soon, not after weeks of leaving voicemails and hoping that one of the long lists of clinicians you’ve called has available appointments and can accept your insurance provider.
Thriveworks was founded to bring accessible, high-quality care to your counseling or psychiatry experience. We want to make sure that you experience the transformative benefits of mental health help as soon as possible. We’ll get you scheduled with a provider right away; new clients often meet with their therapist or psychiatrist within a week of scheduling. To get started, call Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Austin today or schedule online.
What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.
What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?
While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Austin, we offer:
- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
- Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
- Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.
When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.

How Much Does Therapy Cost?
At Thriveworks, we take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session (for both in-person and online sessions) depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.
Could I Benefit from Mental Health Services?
Even during the best of times, one can still struggle, and while some people are doing extremely well, plenty of good people are going through difficult, dark times. This could include anything from depression to anxiety to grief to addiction to a divorce or breakup. The list goes on.
