Our Story
"I created Flourish after working for years in traditional mental health settings. I grew weary of how difficult it was to effect change in people who had been waiting too long for services (often because of long waitlists and red tape). I decided to build a service that helped people sooner, more effectively, and hopefully altogether avoiding the need for ever needing public services that struggled to deliver. I value getting people access to great high quality therapists, no red tape (you can book an appointment yourself for this week). I value having healthy and happy therapists in the office, because if they are well cared for, you are well cared for. I value a culture of belonging and growth mindset." - Phoenix Brill
