About

Why we built Thrive Collaborative.

A practice built by clinicians who have lived both sides of special education — in schools and alongside families — and who wanted to do this work better.

Our story

Thrive Collaborative was built on a simple belief: schools and families deserve expert special education support without paying for bloated overhead, and the clinicians who do the work deserve to thrive doing it. We run lean and technology-enabled, so our experienced psychologists and BCBAs can focus on what matters most, timely, high-quality, collaborative care for students.

Our vision

A California where every student gets timely, expert, caring evaluation and support, delivered by professionals who love the work and thrive doing it.

Our values

Own It. We take personal responsibility for every action and outcome.
We Grow Together, Always. Lifelong growth as professionals and humans.
Serve with Heart. Deeply impactful, collaborative care that transforms lives.
We Choose Freedom, We Choose Flow. Work designed for fulfillment and balance.

Our team

Led by founder Kristyn Corley, Thrive's team brings years of California special education experience to every partnership: credentialed school psychologists and Board Certified Behavior Analysts.
