Testimonials

Working with Dr. Carol has been incredibly helpful in navigating life’s complexities. Her thoughtful guidance and practical tools have given me clarity and confidence to address personal and professional challenges. I always felt understood and supported, which made a huge difference in my growth and well-being. Sessions with her are truly a space where I feel empowered to grow.

As we get older it is easy to attribute our behavior to the popular phrase “well that is how I am”. However “how I am” is not “how I want to be” and that is where Dr. Carol and her practice at Thrive Care Ghana comes in. The process of asking myself the hard questions, having the difficult conversations, and making the necessary changes to becoming the person I want to be, is easier with Dr. Carol as I have a deeper understanding myself and my actions. I can also identify and stop specific patterns of behaviors that would take me back to that person I no longer want to be. In the same way I go to the gym to stay in shape, I take courses to improve my knowledge in my professional field, and I read my Bible and pray to stay grounded, my sessions with Dr. Carol help me to improve who I am, how I interact with others and how I show up for myself because becoming the person I want to be takes work on all sides and mentally Dr. Carol is an excellent guide for me.

Working with Dr. Carol has been transformative for me. She has helped me understand the limits of my energy and recognize when I’m feeling overwhelmed. With her guidance, I’ve learned to identify those moments, extend grace and care to myself, and bounce back stronger. Dr. Carol has also equipped me with tools to be more present, which has made a significant difference in how I handle stress at work and how I show up in my relationship with my wife as a true partner. Her professionalism and ability to meet me exactly where I am have been incredibly reassuring and effective. I’m deeply grateful for the positive changes I’ve experienced under her care.

Every service with a user-friendly website has my heart and this one delivered on its promise of collaborative and professional care. I am not only glad but proud that I chose Thrive Care. I look forward to seeing the impact of this practice on our society, particularly on aspiring mental health providers.

I cannot recommend Dr Carol enough! I have been seeing her regularly for about 5 years and there has been a significant change in how I view myself, how I manage my emotions and how I respond to triggering situations. Before therapy I honestly thought I was losing my mind, but the sessions with her have been instrumental in helping me navigate some very difficult situations. She has been patient and kind in helping me unpack the different layers of past and current trauma. The work hasn’t always been easy but I go to the sessions with her knowing I will be in a safe place.
