Verification record

Joi Francis-Johnson, LCPC, LCPC

Thrive Behavioral Health

Catonsville, MD

This clinician confirmed the listing, and we checked their license with a state board.

Black Health publishes this record so anyone can check a badge rather than trust it. Every line below names the source we used.

What we checked

  1. Confirmed by the provider

    This clinician completed their profile through a signed invitation link sent to the email address on this record, confirming control of that inbox and the details of this listing.

    Source Black Health onboarding Recorded 15 Sep 2026

  2. License checked with a state board

    We looked this clinician up in the licensing board record for the state where they practice and confirmed an active license.

    Source State licensing board Recorded 3 Sep 2026

  3. Identity matched in the federal NPI Registry

    We matched this clinician's name, specialty taxonomy and practice address against the CMS National Provider Identifier Registry, the federal record every billing clinician appears in. CMS states that holding an NPI does not by itself confirm a license, so we treat this as an identity check, not a license check.

  4. Self-identified as a Black clinician

    Black Health lists clinicians who identify as Black. That identification comes from the clinician or from a directory they chose to join, never from an assumption on our part.

What this record does not say

  • Black Health does not rate clinical quality, and a listing here is not a recommendation or a referral. Position in our search results is never sold.
  • Verification is a point-in-time check. Confirm license status directly with your state board before care.
