Desmond has been late 2 times, and I repeatedly had to ask for a work note that was not even accurate when he finally wrote me one. Luckily, I can save messages to provide actual proof of my sessions. Not very professional of someone who has 18 years of experience as a certified therapist.

From our 2 sessions, Desmond genuinely understands me, and he’s a big reason I’m continuing therapy. Thankful to have him as my therapist.
