FREDERICKSBURG, Va., July 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Thriveworks, a leading mental health provider, announced today its latest funding round led by Wellington Management in its management services organization (MSO), Thriveworks Administrative Services. Other new investors include Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC, RA Capital Management, Redmile Group, and Transformation Capital. Regal Healthcare Capital Partners will remain Thriveworks MSO's largest equity holder.
Founded in 2008 as a single counseling office in Cambridge, MA, Thriveworks has grown to over 310 centers and a robust virtual counseling business, employing over 2,000 clinicians serving hundreds of thousands of clients. This new round of financing will accelerate its goal to make high quality, affordable mental health services available everywhere nationwide.

This includes the ability to book and attend appointments online, phone and email access to one's provider, 24/7 text support, extended hour scheduling assistance 365 days of the year, modern offices, and top-tier in-network clinicians.
"I knew there was a problem when one day I called 41 therapists—who were advertising online—and I reached 41 voicemails. We started Thriveworks to fix that and many other issues," said AJ Centore PhD, Founder and CEO. "Our mission is to help people live happy, successful lives. This applies to the clients we serve, and to our team members. While some mental health companies treat clinicians like gig workers, we've always believed a better way is to recruit the best clinicians, help them build successful careers at Thriveworks, and empower them to do their best work with clients."
Regal Healthcare Capital Partners invested in the Thriveworks MSO in November 2019. Co-founder Dr. David Kim commented, "We have been fortunate to work with AJ and his team as they have rapidly grown Thriveworks into an industry leader."

This dynamic company is at the forefront of providing Americans access to quality mental healthcare, a need that too often goes unmet."
