Thrive specializes in treating depression and anxiety utilizing brain stimulation, skills training, counseling, nutritional support, and medication optimization. “Our program is like physical therapy for the brain”, said owner and Medical Director, Jennifer Behnke, APN-BC, PMHNP. “In my 17 years of mental health practice I’ve learned that often meds and counseling just aren’t enough. Our integrative treatment program here at Thrive is so rewarding because we get to witness people truly take back their life”.

Thrive is a family run business and aims to treat everyone coming in the door like part of the family. “Many on our team have struggled with mental health personally or with loved ones.
