I’ve been working with Dr. Lockton since November and she’s been a great help for me. She understands and knows how to talk to me well. She is honest with me and we create goals with eachother to help me become stronger mentally.

Dr. Lockton does a very good job at trying to figure out what I need and how to help me.

Written on Jun 18, 2025 after therapy with Devora for 2 weeks on issues concerning grief

I feel relief in having Dr. Lockton as my therapist words can’t describe how grateful I am to her for working with me and her expertise. She has been the consistent support I could rely on during a difficult period. I would talk to her each day if I could. I would want to continue working with her on a regular permanent basis as I don’t believe you need have a therapist only when faced with challenges.
