Droze is awesome. He's very patient walking me through on what I'm going through and recommends actionable steps to address them.

As a guy seeking therapy for the first time. I was reluctant to talk to anyone. I must say that Drauzin was a great help who listens from a place of compassion and empathy. He was able to help me through all my therapy goals and I would recommend him for anyone that needs help from a Therapist. He definitely will push you out of your comfort zone if needed in order to get to the root of the issue! I know I will use his services again in the future should the need arise.

Been working with Droze for over a year. He's my first therapist, and I honestly could not have asked for a better therapist. It feels like I have a very helpful friend in Droze. That's how comforting he is. He ensures you feel safe and is always welcoming. Very delightful to talk to. He's been really helpful on my journey to better manage my mental health. I am very appreciative of his time and help.
