My experiences with Dr. Walters were very positive. She was an empathetic listener who helped me process things without judgement. She listened to my ideas and helped me look for paths/solutions moving forward. She also stressed nonjudgement of the self, which was something I needed. Overall, I think she was a good fit, a good therapist, and highly recommend her to others.

Dr. Walters is amazing! We have such a great relationship. I had a previous counselor before who I didn’t feel a connection with and it was hard to communicate but Dr. Walters matches up with me perfectly! She’s like a friend who’s willing to listen and help and that’s EXACTLY what I wanted. She replies to my texts in a timely manner, makes time to schedule sessions with me outside of her availability and shares her experiences with me. I’ve definitely improved because of her. Love her.

Dr. Walters is an awesome therapist. She's very supportive and understanding. Any nerves I had about seeking support was gone after our first session.

Dr. Walters was super supportive and responsive. Her guidance allowed me to gain a perspective that I was lacking, which in turn brought me to the beginnings of learning how to love myself.
