My name is Nick Choate. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Thrive. Thrive began out of a passion placed on mine and my bride's hearts for relationships and marriages. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to marry a woman that would be my best friend but also my helper and lover (Lord knows I need all the help I can get). After many wreckless acts, several hurt hearts and
broken relationships, I began to seek some guidance. I needed to heal. I wanted to better understand what I was actually looking for, and even willing to look at what I was doing wrong so I wouldn't make the same mistakes again! It was then that I befriended several men through my church that help me to see what it meant to have healthy marriages, as well as, to be a healthy male at home, in leadership, and at my job; I was revived. They helped me to see what I was doing and how my own personal story was affecting my choices in relationships. They helped my to grow through the tough times. Thrives aim is to assist men and couples do the same thing: Heal, Revive, Grow, Thrive. We help couples maintain healthy intimacy, communication, safety and connection. But, we also want to assist men to be leaders in their marriages and in life. I believe that through these healthy connections couples can weather any storms that attacks our marriage. We offer couples and relationship therapy to assist with reconnecting and healing, premarital counseling to couples looking to take that "plunge" into the deep unknown and beginning their life together with a firm foundation for their marriage, and men's work to assist with issues associated with shame/guilt, addictions or life-and stress-balance that can ultimately affect our home lives. Thrive takes pride in the fact that we are a Christian, faith-based practice. However, we want our clients and potential clients to know that those are our held values and beliefs. We do not push those on others but rather we hope to allow them shine from within us to provide better direction and stability in the care that we provide to you. If you are interested in more information, please feel free to take a closer look at us through our website. You can also shoot us an email, or, heck, just do it the ol'fashion way and give me a call. I would love to talk with you more to see how you can begin to Thrive again in your marriage and relationships.
