Dr. Frogel leads Thriveworks, a nationwide provider of talk therapy and psychiatry services across 340 locations and more than 2,600 clinicians. His understanding of care delivery has been shaped by two decades of frontline clinical experience spanning emergency medicine, urgent care and behavioral health. A physician turned healthcare executive, Dr. Frogel has been a consistent advocate for integrating behavioral health into broader health systems as a strategic imperative for improving overall health outcomes and lowering the total cost of care, viewing mental health not as separate from physical health and primary care, but as fundamentally interlinked with it. Under his leadership, Thriveworks is advancing partnerships with leading health systems focused on embedding behavioral health into existing care pathways, aligning around measurable outcomes and building infrastructure that supports clinicians in making the greatest possible impact. His leadership philosophy emphasizes transparent communication, steadfast accountability, and clear priorities that keep teams aligned with long-term purpose rather than short-term wins. He serves on the boards of CityMD and Yunara Health, and was recognized on City & State‘s “Health Care Power 100” in 2024 and received the “Corporate Partners in Care Award” from Touro University’s School of Health Sciences in 2025.
