She seems super understanding and cares as well. That's not something I'm used to and I appreciate it a lot

Dr. Lewallen has helped me in profound ways. She understands my challenges and respects my desire to find solutions. Our sessions are always productive and she often gives me helpful exercises to learn new skills and techniques. I'm kind of amazed at how quickly she grasped my challenges, and impressed by how supportive and helpful she has been. I look forward to each of our sessions.
