We’re excited to announce that Thriveworks has opened its first-ever clinic in Columbus, Georgia. This opening marks Thriveworks’ 16th clinic in Georgia, reflecting our ongoing investment in expanding access to quality mental health services across the state.

Addressing Georgia’s Mental Health Care Gap

According to Mental Health America, Georgia ranks among the bottom 10 states for access to mental health care. In Muscogee County, where Columbus is located, nearly 20% of adults report frequent mental distress yet struggle to find timely, affordable care. This new Columbus location is part of our mission to bridge these critical gaps in mental health access.

“We’re proud to support the Columbus community by expanding access to quality mental health services,” says Lisa Pringle, regional clinic director for Thriveworks in Columbus. “This opening really signifies our continued commitment to improving mental health care across Georgia and meeting people where they are with timely, evidence-based care.”
