Dr. Mims is not my first therapist, but she’s the first to make me feel so comfortable opening up to her in the first session. She’s very knowledgeable and empathetic. She regularly checks in. She’s exactly who I was looking for.

Excellent conversation. She listened to me go over my history of treatment and personal problems surrounding my diagnosis. She regularly reaches out via messages to check on me. She reminds me to affirm my successes and to not be critically comparative of myself to others. Great session. Thank you Dr. Mims.
