Ilene is a wonderful therapist. She is extremely caring, very attentive and detail oriented. She listens intently never interrupts allows me to just talk and share my feelings and my thoughts, and then systematically deconstructs what I’ve said, asking questions and interjecting her thoughts which helps me gain an understanding of my own thoughts and feelings, and why I am the way I am. She has already helped me tremendously and I’ve only been with her a short time I would recommend her to anyone and I look forward to continuing working with her.
