Inspiring Conversations with Danielle Germaine of Thrivery Therapy

Today we’d like to introduce you to Danielle Germaine. 

Hi Danielle, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Working as a therapist for many years – I was always working for someone else or another business. With the unfortunate events that transpired when COVID-19 struck, many aspects of therapy changed. This allowed me to take all these changes into perspective and begin to plan out what a private practice could entail for me as a therapist. I was able to work on a private practice that focuses primarily on seeing clients only through Telehealth, this allowed me to not focus on the restrictions of location and ultimately be able to see clients throughout all areas of Michigan. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has been an interesting road to say the least, from marketing to creating social media posts, to learning about billing and topics I had never heard of, the start was rough. However, it was worth it to push myself and learn from the ground up from branding to scheduling how to do everything on my own. It has really helped me see the value of working for one’s self and the trials and tribulations of owning your own business. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Thrivery Therapy LLC?
I am a mental health therapist who works solely online. I specialize in many areas of mental health such as life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and many other topics as well! 

I believe that when a person experiences trauma or life stressors, it can be quite common for life to feel as though it is unraveling. I take pride in bringing healing to people who have been through trauma/stressful experiences. My job is to help my clients who include adults, children, and families to find healthy perceptions of themselves, different coping skills, and a newfound strength within themselves to take on the world and thrive. I know no single approach is the right one for every individual so I am trained in a range of modalities. I do however focus on a person-centered approach to create a safe therapeutic space, a genuine therapeutic relationship, and unconditional positive regard for my clients. 

I am most proud of completing the whole process on my own. It was one of the most challenging things I have ever done but it was also the most rewarding. It pushed me to see my own value and to see everything I am capable of. 

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
It makes me happy to provide a service to help others and their mental health through such uncharted territory of the world, to give someone a piece of peace is a really rewarding feeling. It helps me to teach others helpful tools to improve their life, to me that gives me purpose and motivation that I hope spreads with each person I help.
