Dr. Sullivan is kind, compassionate, and patient. I had no idea what to expect when starting Therapy and I feel so incredibly lucky to have matched with a Therapist (on the first try) who has been absolutely pivotal in my personal and professional development over this past month. One of the greatest comforts after experiencing some of the highest anxiety of my life was knowing another session with Dr. Sullivan was right around the corner.
