I love Jean! Been with her for 3 years and could not speak highly enough of her. It can be hard to find someone you click with in therapy, she’s been the best through the worst and best of it.

It’s only been a couple sessions and are still feeling each other out. She seems lovely, and listens and has good insights. I think she and I will be great if the sessions I have had continue

Jean is a thoughtful, kind and respectful listener. There are never any judgements, and she shares nuggets of advice and book recommendations to help along the way. As overwhelmed and excited as I know I've gotten on the phone, she always remains level-headed and ready to tackle the issue at hand.
