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.

“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 Anthony 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 Anthony and his team as they have rapidly grown Thriveworks into an industry leader.” Co-founder Jon Santemma said, “We are pleased that such high-quality investors are joining us on this exciting journey. This dynamic company is at the forefront of providing Americans access to quality mental healthcare, a need that too often goes unmet.”
