About Amanda DeBock
Office Manager & HR Assistant
Amanda DeBock is the steady hand behind Thrive’s day-to-day operations. As Office Manager and HR Assistant, she manages billing, scheduling, hiring, payroll, and insurance coordination—all with a sharp eye for detail and a deep commitment to clarity and care. With a bachelor’s degree in Criminology, Law, and Justice from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an MBA in Healthcare Management in progress at Purdue Global, Amanda blends forensic thinking with real-world business sense to keep Thrive running smoothly.
She approaches her work with the kind of empathy that can’t be taught—rooted in her own experience navigating health challenges and different abilities. That background drives her commitment to transparency, especially when it comes to billing, insurance, and client communication.
“I try to be as friendly and straightforward as possible; I know what it’s like to be blindsided by a bill. I don't charge cards without giving people a heads up.”
Amanda’s presence at Thrive makes life easier for everyone—clients, therapists, and vendors alike. She brings calm to complexity and keeps people informed without overwhelm.
Outside of work, Amanda loves crocheting, spending time with her niece and nephews, and having big conversations with the little ones in her life. A bright powerhouse, she’s committed to breaking generational patterns and encouraging her loved ones to pursue education and growth—just like she does.
