About Thrive Beyond Trauma Counseling

Thrive Beyond Trauma Counseling is a specialized, heart-centered private practice dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and partners heal from trauma, betrayal trauma, and behavioral addictions such as porn, sex, and love addiction. We combine compassion with clinical excellence, offering a warm, evidence-based space for true transformation.

As we grow from an individual to a group practice, we’re looking for passionate, driven, and grounded therapists who are ready to specialize deeply and help redefine how people heal from trauma and addiction.

Message from the Founder

“When I started Thrive Beyond Trauma Counseling, I wasn’t trying to build another therapy office — I wanted to build a home for healers and a space for true change.
We’re on a mission to help people break free from shame, trauma, and behavioral addictions — and to make that care accessible to everyone, not just those who can pay out-of-pocket.
Our dream reaches beyond therapy rooms: from TED-style awareness talks to creating global programs that normalize recovery and make healing affordable.
Thrive is where compassion meets excellence. It’s where clinicians are supported, mentored, and inspired to grow — not only in their careers but also as humans.
If you feel called to be part of that kind of change, this is where you belong.”
